Who were the good guys?

Inmates were interrogated, starved, beaten and tortured in an attempt to extract information about Soviet methods and plans.

The photographs, which required an extra appeal from the newspaper to get the British government to release them, are reminiscent of images from Nazi-run concentration camps.
