German hospital in Cherbourg. Captain John D. Benzer, Lidgerwood, N.Y., of the U.S. Army Medical Corps, talks with a wounded German soldier in the Hospital Pasteur in Cherbourg while a German orderly feeld his pulse. Chunks of half-eaten bread and bottles of wine, coupled with untidy beds and the unhygienic ward, indicate the rough-and-ready methods of the Germand medical personnel. The patients were later evacuated from this hospital as conditions were found to be definitely unsanitary. The U.S. doctor is a member of a medical commission from a nearby American field hospital which investigated the conditions of Nazi wounded after Cherbourg was liberated by U.S. troops June 27, 1944.
