Distribution of Dinner Rations at Wasbek

Notes:

Russian prisoners await their dinner outside of their barracks at Wasbek. The meal consists of soup, found in the large pots on the ground with ladles on top. A German non-commissioned officer stands in the center of the group with a ladle in hand, ready to begin distributing the meal. German officers stand in the background at the left.
