20/ Some of the conscripts were not given food or water by the army. One conscript told his girlfriend that "they were eating earth there. I laughed and then realised it was no joke." Volunteers and parents brought them fresh clothes and food, which they cooked themselves. Something similar is likely to have happened in the Kursk region, with many of the captured conscripts reported to be malnourished.
