Mother Searching for Her Son among Returning POWs, Friedland, Germany, Oct. 1955 [1600×1525]
The return of the last remained POWs from the Soviet Union was an immense political success for Chancellor Adenauer. The return of the POWs was considered as his greatest achievement.

Do we know what happened? Did her son return alive?
Especially as a parent, I understand the look on her face and it is heartbreaking.
I wonder if she got to see her son again, or if he was one of the german soldiers who never returned from the east.
Yes, my great gpa was released from Soviet captivity in this year
