Warehouse platform at Kehrsatz, near Berne, where clothing is made up into bales and shipped in carload lots directly to American prisoners in Germany. This big warehouse handles clothing only. The packing, storage and shipping of trainloads of food boxes for American prisoners in Germany is done from Bumplitz, 3 miles from Berne where Swiss, interned Allied soldiers and other needy persons are given employment in the packing room. The American Red Cross has another store house at Renens, near Lausanne, and a reserve store house at Copenhagen, Denmark, the latter in charge of W.W. Husband of the Swiss Commission of the Red Cross
Packages for prisoners of war and internees. Americans taken prisoners of war or interned by Germany and Italy regularly receive standard American Red Cross food packages, shown here stacked like bricks in the International Red Cross warehouse at Geneva, Switzerland. U.S. prisoners of war receive one package a week as soon as the Red Cross is notified of their capture and location. Internees receive one package every two weeks. As of December 9, 1942, Germany and Italy had reported 243 American prisoners of war and 1512 interned civilians. Each package weighs eleven pounds and contains evaporated milk, buscuits, cheese, cocoa, sardines, pork, beef, chocolate bars, sugar, coffee, powered orange concentrate, prunes, cigarettes and smoking tobacco

First American Red Cross food package sent to American prisoners in Germany. The contents of this package have now been hanged and four different packages go forward to American prisoners each "food month." American prisoners now get regular Army food, carefully varied and chosen by the American Red Cross in Switzerland. Food luxuries are thrown in for good measure. In addition clothing of every description is sent to our boys from regular Army outfits to civilian suits. One American prisoner in Germany who has the freedom of Berlin recently was sent a badly-needed "swallow-tail coat" and two golf balls but is not known if the two golf balls sent by a Red Cross Official from his own layout, were cut open by suspicious German "censors"
W.W. Husband of Washington, American Red Cross representative of Copenhagen. Taken on the steps of the A.R.C. headquarters in London. The work of caring for American prisoners in Germany is now centered in Berne but in order ti be prepared for every possible emergency the A.R.C. has leased a large reserve warehouse in Copenhagen, which is prepared to take up the work at a moment's notice. Here are kept stocks of food clothing and other supplies sufficient to care for several thousand American prisoners over a long period of months. Mr. Husband was formerly head of the Division of Contract Labor in the Department for Commerce and Labor at Washington
American prisoners of war at Bradenburg, Germany. U.S. Naval Prisoners in Germany. Four men of the guncrew of the merchant ship Campania, interned at Bradenburg. This photograph was sent to the American Red Cross by Chief Petty Officer James Delaney of Brooklyn, who is the president of the American Committee in the Brandenburf prison camp. He is the second from the right in the group. His companions are Charles L. Kline of Philadelphia and two other men of the Campania's gun crew. There are at present about twenty-five civilian and soldier Americans under detention in the Brandenburg camp. They receive weekly parcels of food and other necessaries from the American Red Cross Bureau in Berne, Switzerland
Are American prisoners in Germany well fed by the ARC in Switzerland? Oh, boy! Look at these piles of pork and beans, jam, those barrels of corned beef, salt pork, those boxes of salmon, dried beans, tomatoes, corn, peas, hard bread, butter, those bags of sugar, those boxes of prunes, soap, cocoa, chocolate, rice, evaporated milk, coffee, raisins, figs, salt, tea and candy
German prisoners at work. German prisoners do much of the work for the American Red Cross at its Salonika Warehouses. It's work they are glad to do, for the big barrel labeled "flour" are more precious than the pasha's jewels in this part of the world where they had almost begun to believe the chief ingredient for bread didn't exist. The Red Cross has now stacked seven huge warehouses full of such supplies, including large medical store
