Vatican Holds Six German Prisoners of War
The Vatican, the world’s only sovereign state without an army, hosts six German prisoners of war. Five soldiers and one officer escaped Allied camps after Rome fell and sought refuge in the Vatican. They live in Pontifical Gendarmes barracks, receive gendarme rations, and are walked daily with no contact with the outside world until repatriation is approved. Baron Ernest Weizhacker, former German ambassador to the Holy See, lives there as a civilian.
