View of the Prison Compound at Muenster

Notes:

French and British prisoners mill around in groups on the camp compound in Muenster-Rennbahn while POW's in another barrack line up for roll call. In the background, construction is underway for new administrative buildings to support the prison camp. As the war dragged on, Allied POWs continued to flow into Germany from across Europe.
