Life photog John Florea, Germany, 1945 Private Joe Demler, a prisoner of the Germans for three months, after liberation. “In the town of Limburg we discovered an Allied prison camp…They asked me for food that I didn’t have. I did have a roll of Life Savers with me…and I said to these fellows all in a row, “Fellows, this is all I’ve got.’ 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 I’ll never forget his name. He name was Demler, Joe Demler.†http://lifephotographers.tumblr.com/post/1020528626/john-florea-germany-1945-private-joe-demler-a US prisoners of war, Germany World War II.  (Image from Library of Congress) http://www.anatomybox.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/600starvation.jpg
