The German Ministry of War assigned this camp visitation permit to Archibald C. Harte on 25 March 1915 and the permit was countersigned by the commandant of Crossen-an-der-Oder and his adjutant. Harte visited a number of German prison camps in March and April 1915 to investigate conditions and explain how the American YMCA could provide programs which would benefit Allied prisoners of war. In comparison to the printed visitation permits Harte received at Cassel and Goettingen, this permit is of much poorer quality.https://scholarworks.wmich.edu/wwi_pow_camps/1897/thumbnail.jp
