4.9/5 (31787 ratings)

Description:During World War II, Sergeant Angelo Spinelli was captured by the Germans on Valentine's Day, 1943, and shipped to Stalag IIIB near Furstenburg, Germany. Using cigarettes obtained from the Red Cross, Spinelli bribed a guard at the camp to procure a Voitlander camera and film. Life Behind Barbed Wire features photographs Spinelli took during his time in prison camp. Of the more than 1,000 photographs Spinelli risked his life to take, more than 100 appear in this book. The remarkable photographs, enhanced by Lewis H. Carlson's explanatory text, feature prisoners trading with the guards; combating ticks, lice, and other vermin; preparing meager rations on ingenious cooking contraptions; fighting off boredom by playing baseball, soccer, and football; putting on musical and dramatic theatre presentations; and worshiping in a chapel the prisoners themselves built. These snapshots give us a window on camp life where catastrophe was normal and normalcy was often catastrophic. In addition, there are dramatic shots of liberation from Stalag IIIA, where Spinelli and some 38,000 other Allied prisoners had been moved during the final months of the war.
