GERMANS (620)

This category is comprised of photographs taken by German soldiers during the occupation and the Rising. You can see them during official celebrations in the occupied Warsaw, and proudly posing against the ruins. On the other hand, the Germans depicted by Polish photo reporters in August and September 1944 are mostly prisoners of war. A large portion of such photos are images of Wehrmacht troops captured on 20 August after the taking of the PAST building. Treated by the Poles in accordance with international conventions, German POWs were grouped in several makeshift POW camps, such as the one shown in the photos by Joachim Joachimczyk (at 22 Jasna Street), where they were fed and tended to. Documented were also German firing positions, such as the one in the State Development Bank (Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego) on the corner of Jerozolimskie Avenue and Nowy Świat Street.
