English POWs at Goettingen

Notes:

English prisoners of war meet on the steps of their barrack at the prison camp at Goettingen. Some of these men have adopted pieces of civilian clothing at the expense of their military appearance. Such practices represented a potential security threat since non-military clothing could be used to support escapes.
