Tailor Shop at Guestrow

Notes:

Russian tailors are hard at work at their sewing machines and unrolling bolts of cloth in the tailor shop at Guestrow. Most prison camps were self-sufficient in terms of employing prisoners with trade experience. These tradesmen helped keep the camp running while improving the living standards of the prisoners.
