- French prisoners pose in their beds in their barrack at Darmstadt. To maximize the use of space, beds are placed next to each other with only a narrow path between rows of bunks. The POW's clothing and dinner bowls hang from the shelves behind their bunks while parcels and food stand on the shelves.
