AWFUL STORIES
PRISONERS AT STENDHAL
London. Escapees from Stendhal Camp swear that the British prisoners are treated with horrifying brutality. They are left filthy, full of vermin, and emaciated.
They foraged the camp in search of food, licking tins from sheer hunger.
Ninety died of dysentery in three clays, and were flung into the rudest coffins, whence blood and vermin oozed.
Other prisoners were tied to posts and flogged. Two were shot. Some were stripped naked and driven out into the snow.
