- This is an exterior view of the hospital for prisoners of war at Zossen, probably taken from a guard tower. There are lots of trees in this camp and German soldiers and NCO's are on one of the streets of the camp.

- Notes:
- Belgian and French prisoners wait patiently in line outside of the kitchen in Zossen to receive a bowl of soup. The same prisoners happily pose for a picture with hot soup after receiving their meals in the camp kitchen. Individual distribution of rations was inefficient but it guaranteed equality between the POW's. Service to barrack representatives represented a faster distribution of rations but German authorities could not supervise the actual disposition inside all of the barracks.

- The German authorities permitted this French sculptor to continue his trade in prison at Zossen. He was assigned his own workshop and is working on a monument. This workshop also served as a dining room and a place to sleep (note the pile of mattresses on the floor to the left). The prisoners are very comfortable as one reads a newspaper, another smokes, and two others sit down to a meal.

- Notes:
- This French menu for the prison camp at Zossen-Weinberg appeared in the German magazine "Der Krieg." The menu dates from the early part of the war and describes the lunches and dinners served at Zossen on a daily basis. It includes an illustration of a French prisoner wearing wooden clogs, eating dinner in a chair. The menu gave German readers an idea of the fare the German government provided to Allied prisoners of war under Ministry of War care.
