International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)Excerpt: Archives 1914-1918: during the First World War, 10 million people, servicemen or civilians, were captured and sent to detention camps.
The belligerent countries involved provided lists of prisoners to the ICRC, which created an index card for each prisoner and detainee. Now, you can search through all 5 million of them.
World War I ended at 11:00 AM on November 11, 1918, when Germany and the Allies signed an Armistice that stopped the fighting. However some time went by before the Treaty of Versailles (Peace Treaty) was signed on June 28, 1919.
