POWs Cooking Food Parcels from Home at Grafenwoehr

Notes:

French and Belgian prisoners cook food on an outdoor grill from their packages sent from home in the prison compound at Grafenwoehr. POW's were not permitted to cook their food parcels inside their barracks due to the threat of fire. During the winter months, when stoves heated the interior of their quarters, POW's could do some limited cooking indoors.
