Excerpt: The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is an international humanitarian movement with approximately 97 million volunteers worldwide which started to protect human life and health, to ensure respect for the human being, and to prevent and alleviate human suffering, without any discrimination based on nationality, race, sex, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. The often-heard term International Red Cross is actually a misnomer, as no official organization as such exists bearing that name. In reality, the movement consists of several distinct organizations that are legally independent from each other, but are united within the Movement through common basic principles, objectives, symbols, statutes and governing organs.

From the author: The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has often been maligned for its actions, or lack thereof, during the Second World War. In particular the Committee has been criticised for its apparent inability to compromise its mandate to provide impartial and non-politicised relief. This article discusses some of the problems of this interpretation of ICRC history by showing that, contrary to the image of the ICRC as a "well-meaning amateur", the Committee responded to the challenges of the Second World War with a series of bold initiatives that were crucial to the organisation's long-term development. Not only did these initiatives improve the success of the ICRC's humanitarian mission, but they also stand as testament to an organisation that, though devoid of diplomatic status and political power, was able to conduct its work whilst being restricted by the policies of belligerent governments and the physical dangers of total war.

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Stalag XIII-C was a German Army World War II prisoner-of-war camp built on what had been the German Army training camp Hammelburg, Lower Franconia, Bavaria, Germany. Hammelburg was a large German Army training camp, set up in 1893. Part of this camp had been used as a POW camp during for Allied army personnel in World War I. After 1935 it was a training camp and military training area for the newly reconstituted German Army. In World War II the German Army used parts of camp Hammelburg for Stalag XIII-C, a camp for other ranks and NCOs. Oflag XIII-B was located close by. As was usual for Stalags, many of the prisoners were located in Arbeitslager on farms or adjacent to factories or other industrial operations. The camp served as the base for distribution of International Red Cross packages and mail. A Lazarett (hospital) cared for prisoners that were sick or had been injured in industrial accidents or air-raids. A number of enlisted men and NCOs were housed in the adjacent Oflag to provide necessary services. ... Read more

A TOTAL RIP OFF!!!
"High quality content by Wikipedia articles!" means THAT IS ALL THIS IS! IT'S NOTHING MORE THAN WIKIPEDIA ARTICLES ALONE, WHICH ANYONE CAN GET FOR FREE! Instead, I got ripped off for my money. Yes, It's probably partly my fault for assuming that there would be more to the book than just FREE INFORMATION that I already had, but still - this Betascript Publishing is apparently specializing in ripping people off, as there are a whole series of books on Amazon right now that are just the same as this one.

Save your money and learn from someone who already got taken - this is a total rip off. ... Read more
