| Description: | World War One. Some of the many Germans captured by the Allies since the start of the Battle of the Somme; in July of this year 1916. German prisoners marching; through the snow; (toward camera). Then a shot of German prisoners "working peacefully on the land" as "willing captives"; according to Pathe propaganda. The scene does look pretty rural-idyllic. Pan along the Germans working with hoes or rakes in a garden; while French guards watch. Agriculture; labor | |
