Arrival of Bread Rations at Zerbst

Notes:

Russian prisoners carrying armloads of large loaves of bread form a double line to carry the bread shipment into the prison compound at Zerbst. While many prison camps had bakeries in the prison camp kitchen, German authorities often purchased bread rations from civilian bakers to meet daily rations.
