World War II French POWs
Today we have a set of photos described as French POWs in a German camp during World War II.
The set said they were undergoing delousing, which would account for why they had to strip.
Whether they were actually undergoing delousing or not is hard to tell.
The photos do not show any actual treatment.
What we see is a bunch of naked guys in some kind of railroad yard and a guard with a rifle.
This last photo has been censored, but we saw an uncensored view of the same guys in the previous photo.

Neat!
L’armée française était composée d’hommes venus de France et de nos colonies des Caraïbes, d’Afrique de l’Ouest, d’Indochine et des îles du Pacifique Sud. Ainsi que les expatriés étrangers en France.
Malheureusement dirigée par une armée très conservatrice qui croyait aux tactiques obsolètes de la guerre de tranchées de la Première Guerre mondiale et refusait de s’adapter aux tactiques de l’Allemagne nazie, la Blitzkrieg. Leurs fortifications tant vantées de la ligne Maginot, en France, furent une folie.

Thank you, Beau Mec for the explanation. To me, these pictures bode harm nor care for these captured soldiers.
Captured soldiers face so many uncertainties. But one thing is sure: your captors will get you naked, real quick. For security reasons, but also mind games. Naked persons are vulnerable persons.
Something tells me this isn't Germany at all, but French West Africa!
