German hospital in Cherbourg. Two U.S.

German hospital in Cherbourg. Two U.S. Army nurses and a German medical orderly talk to a wounded sixteen-year-old German soldier at the Hospital Pasteur in Cherbourg. The untidy bed and general sloppiness of the ward, coupled with the bottle of wine and unappetising chunk of bread on the table beside the patient, indicate the rough-and-ready methods of the German medical personnel. The patients were later evacuated from this hospital as conditions were found to be definitely unsanitary. The U.S. nurses, both stationed at an American field hospital nearby, were part of commission which studied the condition of Nazi wounded after the fall of Cherbourg June 27, 1944.
