Transport of P.O.W.

The Red Cross came up with different formulas for marking ships that were transporting Prisoners Of War. This was seen as necessary after prisoners had died when ships had been sunk. The proposals continued into 1944. The Germans and Italians agreed to the Red Cross proposals,but the British always raised concerns.
The T.N.A. holds six Files on the subject.
