French civilian liberated at Kassel.

French civilian liberated at Kassel. Fifty-seven-years-old Emile Delmare (left) of Calais, France, was condemned to Allied labor for four years for listening to Allies broadcasts. He was tried May 15, 1944. And condemned to serve until May 15 1948. At the time of his trial, M. Delmare weighed 172 pounds---now he weights 72 pounds. He was liberated from the Nazis when Third U.S. Army troops cleared Gassel, where he was incarcerated, April 4, 1945. On the Fulda River and 115 miles east of the Rhine, Cassel was cleared only after intense house-to-house fighting. Liberated civilians like M. Delmare will be given medical care and returned to their homes. This picture was teken at a prisoner-of-war camp near Kassel being used by the Third U.S. Army's 80th Division.
