Life photog John Florea, Germany, 1945 Private Joe Demler, a prisoner of the Germans for three months, after liberation. â??In the town of Limburg we discovered an Allied prison campâ?¦They asked me for food that I didnâ??t have. I did have a roll of Life Savers with meâ?¦and I said to these fellows all in a row, â??Fellows, this is all Iâ??ve got.â?? So I gave each one of these kids a Life Saver out of my roll. Finally, I started to run out and I started breaking them in half and giving each one of them a half. Then I asked a couple of them if they could get up. One kid could not. He weighed something like 70 pounds, and Iâ??ll never forget his name. He name was Demler, Joe Demler.â? http://lifephotographers.tumblr.com/post/1020528626/john-florea-germany-1945-private-joe-demler-a US prisoners of war, Germany World War II.
