- Notes:
- French prisoners of war line up to buy refreshments at the canteen in the prison compound at Erlangen. The canteen appears to be well stocked with provisions, suggested by the goods in the window. French and Russian prisoners relax in the shade of a shed to the right. A group of POW's in the middle of the photograph are in a playful mood; one of the French prisoners gives his fellow inmate a pair of "horns" with his fingers.

- Russian prisoners work in the Records Office in the prison camp at Purgstall. While some of the POW's are working, one is warming water on the wood stove, another is drinking a cup of tea, and one appears to be dealing with an itch in his boot with a stick. The Records Office was an important part of the general administration of a prison camp.

- Notes:
- This photograph shows four potatoes that have been "sabotaged" by Allied prisoners working on agricultural labor detachments. The POW's cut the eyes out of the potatoes and without these seeds, the Germans would be unable to grow the next crop of potatoes. Due to the effectiveness of the Allied blockade, this practice placed an even greater burden on the German war economy.

- British and French POW's visit the canteen in the prison camp in Bautzen. The canteen is well-stocked with boots, slippers, suspenders, knives/razors, and other goods (including sausages) while a German soldier mans the cash register. This photograph was taken early in the war when prison stocks were plentiful and the Allied blockade had not taken its toll on the German economy.

- Prisoners of war sell a variety of food and other items outside their barracks in the prison compound in a German prison camp. Prisoners from Britain, France, and Russia assemble to inspect the wares available for sale. Food sales would become far less frequent in the later years of the war.

- Notes:
- British interned civilians file through the prison camp kitchen and have hot soup ladled into their dinner buckets. Before leaving through the exit on the right hand side, a prisoner smells his bucket to figure out what kind of soup is on the menu that day. Note the bars on the windows to prevent nocturnal visits from hungry or enterprising internees.

- Notes:
- The POW kitchen staff, with their German non-commissioned officers, stand with their cooking utensils in front of the prison kitchen at Meschede. The staff, composed primarily of French POWs, is well equipped with a wide range of cooking tools. Note the presence of German officers and several civilians in the back row, which suggests that a camp inspection was underway at the time of this photograph.

- 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.
