English: Displaced Persons and Refugees in Germany
The Displaced Persons camp within the grounds of Hamburg Zoo was build by the Blohm & Voss company during WWII to house the forced labourers that worked in their factory. The camp was taken over by the British on 5 May 1945 and quickly given over as an arrivals centre for displaced persons. On arrival displaced persons were organised into groups of 50 for processing through the reception centre. They were dusted with anti-louse powder and given a registration card (D.P.3) bearing such details as their name, nationality and place of residence. All were then allotted a bed in one of the accommodation huts. In times of overflow a large former air raid shelter was used as overspill night accommodation. After a few days at the camp and when transport was available displaced persons were sent to the appropriate 'National Camp' ready for repatriation to their country of origin.
On 4 May 1945, the German authorities estimated there were 45,000 displaced persons in Hamburg. This figure was later increased to 120,000 by 521 Detachment, Military Government, the British formation responsible for all displaced persons in the city.

Deze tag is ontworpen voor gebruik op plaatsen waar er een behoefte is om te verklaren dat alle verbeteringen (bijv. helderheid, contrast, kleur-matching, verscherpen) op zichzelf onvoldoende creatief zijn om een nieuw auteursrecht te genereren. Het kan gebruikt worden wanneer het niet bekend is of er verbeteringen zijn aangebracht, en wanneer de verbeteringen duidelijk maar onvoldoende zijn. Voor bekende ruwe onverbeterde scans kunt u gebruik maken van een geschikte {{PD-old}}-tag in plaats daarvan. Voor gebruik, zie Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
Noot: Deze tag heeft alleen betrekking op scans en fotokopieën. Voor foto's genomen van een afstand van originelen in het publieke domein, kan {{PD-Art}} toepasselijk zijn. Zie Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
