It was this version that Germany and Italy, amongst 53 other countries, signed.Ī little known detail is that although Germany signed the agreement on the date of the issue they ratified it in 1934 (- after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor in March 1933)!
The Geneva convention comprised a few other agreements made concerning Prisoners of war, notably the Hague regulations of 18 and the pre-war version which was initially signed on July 27th 1929. The Geneva ConventionĪll POWs were supposed to be protected by rules for the treatment of prisoners of war which had been established in the Geneva Convention of 1929. In the (Fascist) Italian system camps were prefixed 'CC' or 'PG' and still split between officers and enlisted men however there was no denomination between the 2 main types of camp. In German-run camps an 'Oflag' was a prisoner of war camp for officers, a 'Stalag' was for enlisted personnel, and there were also separate camps for the navy, aircrews and civilians. In the German administered systems prisoners were divided by 'type' i.e. Liberated Prisoner of War Interrogation QuestionnairesĪwards to Civilian Helpers Types of camps
