Summary: | Eleven million German soldiers were captured during the Second World War, of which over three million were in British camps. For the first time, Renate Held presents the British prisoner of war policy comprehensively. It reveals motives, decision-making processes and acts of detention as well as their effects on the prisoners concerned. She embeds her everyday and mental history research object in the military and political history framework. It becomes clear how much the fate and everyday life of the prisoners depended on the course of the war and the political decisions of the opponents of the war. |
