Russian Officers' Room at Friedberg

Notes:

Seven Russian officers shared this room in the prison camp at Friedberg. They enjoyed individual beds, several chairs and tables (one with a table cloth), standing closets, and individual cupboards, a far better standard of living in relation to enlisted prisoners. The inhabitants decorated the walls with maps, publications, and pictures and a guitar on the wall in the corner.
