Prisoners return to the prison at Diez

In the shadow of a tall building, a group of men in civilian jackets, pullovers and shirts walks toward the camera in a loose column: grey-haired and bald older men among younger ones, a man with a moustache and a knitted waistcoat in front, some looking at the camera. The source describes the prisoners of the jail at Diez, who are taken out to work in the fields, coming back in, watched by French gendarmes and German policemen. According to the source the prison held political prisoners, members of the SS, Nazis and people who had broken the regulations of the French military government.
