Document
Photographs, postcards, and a report regarding Robert L. Tumler’s experiences with the 139th Evacuation Hospital and their care for the liberated prisoners of the Ebensee subcamp of Mauthusen. Photographs include depictions of liberated prisoners at Ebensee, Robert in his uniform, other soldiers, and scenes from other locations in Europe.
