Commanders describe few privileges for high ranking Nazis, with many living in basic conditions and some working on nearby farms or forests to earn supplemental rations. Generals and admirals, including Von Rundstedt, are among those present, and the camp’s atmosphere mixes weariness with practical labor assignments.
