Interior of a Cobbler Shop at Muensingen

Notes:

Russian cobblers are hard at work repairing shoes and boots for POW's at Muensingen. POW's had limited access to new shoes while in prison and often had to repair the shoes they wore when they were captured. The workshop is well ventilated by the numerous windows and the POW's have access to electrical lights over their work benches.
