- Notes:
- These four American sailors constituted the American Camp Help Committee at the prison camp at Brandenburg. This committee was responsible for the care of American prisoners in the facility and made sure that arriving prisoners received emergency funds and American Red Cross packets. Many prisoners, victims of torpedo attacks, arrived at Brandenburg without any personal belongings (the Germans assigned sailors and merchant mariners to this facility).

- 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.
