            I don't believe that is a POW portrait. They may possibly be patients from a Lazarett that were soon to be released or attending some kind of technical course as there is a variety of uniforms. One of the SS men's face is disfigured. Photo taken by a studio photographer in Germany as his logo is inprinted on the portrait.

              Hello Bill

              Of course this is very obvious. But I think this picture is a deduction from an original is because it is very blurry, but what was doing at that time already. I thought to look because the miracle has healed well and is not an association, they were prisoners. Only groups of prisoners were numbered in the rule.
              So 100% sure I can not say that a hospital would duchaus photo possible.
              regards René
