The file contains several documents dealing with regulations and procedures for war prisoners by the Nazi military commanders in France. Under the command of the Feldkommandantur 550 in Epinal, correspondences about applications for extradition of war prisoners and general proceedings with them are attached. An application was made in order to extradite Andre Maurice, Prisoner No. 8894, because his work in a mill was absolutely needed. Also an application for the release of the war prisoner Sergent Chanudet was submitted by his father in law. Furthermore handwritten letters are attached. The behavior of prisoners of war was also discussed. For example, prisoners of war were caught fishing without wearing their badges.
