A German child meets his father for the first time in 1956.
A German World War II prisoner is freed by the Soviet Union and reunited with his 12-year-old daughter, whom he has not seen since infancy. The child has not seen her father since she was one year old.

It was at that event that this famous photograph was taken. Part of what became known as “Die Heimkehr der Zehntausend” (The Return of the 10,000), as they were the last German prisoners of war eventually released by the Soviet Union.
Konrad Adenauer, who went to Moscow in late 1955, succeeded in freeing the last 10,000 German POWs in Soviet prisons. Instead, the Federal Republic agreed to have diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union.
West German press reports emphasized how well the newly freed men had survived their time in prison and how happy they were to resume their roles as family breadwinners.

The Soviet Union temporarily halted the release of prisoners when it became clear that the Federal Republic was trying to delay as long as possible the agreed exchange of ambassadors.
Many German prisoners of war were repatriated via the Grenzderchgangslager Friedland, a transit camp for refugees, returnees, soldiers and displaced persons established in September 1945 in Niedersachsen, which was located on the East-German border in the German federal state. .
