'German Prisoners in Warsaw', (1919). Scene from the First World War, 1914-1919: 'The immobile nature of the German Army - because of the absence of railways - and the heavy drain imposed upon them by the strategy of the Russian Army in Poland, strained the German line to the breaking-point; large numbers of them were taken prisoners and sent behind the Russian lines.' From "The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects", Vol. IV, by W. Stanley Macbean Knight. [Caxton Pulishing Company, Limited, London, 1919]
