Milk Sales in the Canteen at Cassel

View Item Record

Notes:

Russian and French prisoners man the milk bar at the prison camp at Cassel, selling bowls and glasses of milk to the inmates. German authorities supervise the sale of the milk products. Acquisition of fresh milk from the diary farms around Cassel was not a problem for German authorities in 1915, before the Allied blockade took a toll on the German economy.
