Plowing the Soil at Muensingen

Notes:

Prisoners from Muensingen worked in labor detachments on the farms surrounding the prison camp. In this wood block print, a French prisoner tills the soil with a pair of oxen led by a German woman. Women often took over the care of farms when their husbands were mobilized for military service.
