Food Aid Plan for American Prisoners in Germany
The State Department negotiates with Germany via Spain to ensure food and clothing for captured Americans reach intended recipients. A blank recipient receipt will be used. Red Cross funds and Berne, Switzerland will serve as supply depots. About 100 sailors and under 20 soldiers are prisoners, with 25 tons of food already sent. A full government led relief scheme will soon deliver biweekly 30 pound packages to each prisoner.
