Mail Censorship Office at Heuberg

Notes:

French and British prisoners organize packets in the mail censorship room at Heuberg in preparation for distribution to the prisoner population, while German non-commissioned officers inspect packages for contraband. One German censor is cutting into a package with a knife on the left, a process that did not please most parcel recipients.
