Mosque for Islamic POWs at Zossen (Wuensdorf)

Notes:

American YMCA secretary Paul B. Anderson took this photograph of the mosque at Zossen-Wuensdorf. The American YMCA made a special effort to provide services to Allied troops in propaganda camps because of the influence of the German authorities used to persuade POW's to change sides.
