Russian POWs Swim in the Havel River at Brandenburg

Notes:

A group of Russian prisoners, from the prison camp at Brandenburg, take a swim in the Havel River on a hot summer day. They were probably on a labor detachment and got the opportunity to cool off in the river. A German factory stands across the river in the background of the photograph.
