Description

Once organized into individual boxes, the American Distribution Committee could serve 922 U.S. POW's in thirty-six minutes with ten days' supply of food from the American Red Cross in the prison camp at Rastatt. American POWs received a wide range of canned foods, bread, and toiletries which significantly enhanced their quality of life in the German prison camp.
