Atrocities by Germany Worse Than Published
State Department reports detail cruel treatment of 72 Americans from the Yarrowdale held in German camps. Men lacked clothing, slept in snow, were starved and beaten, with one officer kicking a detainee. Germans shelled open boats, torturing or injuring rescuers and prisoners. Official records refute claims of disease among the prisoners and accuse Germany of deception in communications to the United States.
