Parcel Delivery to Landshut

Notes:

French prisoners transport a shipment of parcels in the town square in Landshut in Bavaria. The town church is in the background of the photograph and the activity has caught the attention of a number of German civilians. The French war prisoners will pull the wagon full of parcels back to the prison camp.
