Title:GERMAN PRISONERS FROM THE 'LEIBSTANDARTE ADOLF HITLER' [Allocated Title]
Film Number:A70 92-6
Other titles:
Summary: Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS prisoners captured during Operation "Goodwood" are searched and interrogated by Intelligence officers at a 1st Corps POW cage before being sent to more permanent POW locations.
Description: Under the watchful eye of three Military Policemen, all armed with sten-guns, a small group of Wehrmacht and SS prisoners have their pockets emptied and their papers and possessions examined. Most of the Waffen-SS prisoners, former members of the 1st SS Panzer Division "Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler", appear to be very young, between 17 and 20 years old; one particular SS-man, a youthful Oberschutz (Lance-corporal) is very restless. His attitude is contrasted by that of an SS-panzerman who helps a sergeant and lieutenant in the Intelligence Corps point out German positions around Banneville-la-Campagne on a map showing the countryside east of Caen.
