Abstract
(en) This article examines the conditions of detention of Belgian and French nationals deported in Germany following a conviction by German military courts in occupied countries. The case of the persons convicted in the Cavell case is used to analyze the fate of foreign political prisoners in the German prison system. The brutality of the prison regime in Rheinbach and Siegburg was worsened by hunger and disease, so that several prisoners died in captivity. From 1917, prisoners experienced relatively improved conditions of detention. In particular, they received food parcels, which also changed their relationships with the wardens. After the war, former prisoners formed associations or took part in legal action against the prison managers.
