Many German prisoner of war camp guards were older or of low medical category and were fearful of being sent to the Russian front. But these men could still make life miserable for their prisoners. Whilst officers were not required to work, other prisoners worked on farms and roads or in mines or factories. Many prisoners found ample opportunities for sabotage.
