Outdoor Sales Booth at Cassel

Notes:

Prisoners set up booths plying a wide range of wares outside of their barracks in Cassel. POW's had access to food and other commodities which they could sell to other inmates. This food complemented the rations the German authorities issued to war prisoners. A German non-commissioned officer checks out the goods for sale at the right.
