- Notes:
- This photograph provides a view of the camp perimeter and barbed-wire fence as well as the commandant's office (to the left) and POW barracks in the prison camp at Dunaszerdahley. Note the low fence and white line that runs parallel to the fence which is no man's land for POW's. Assuming that prisoners in this area were attempting to escape, guards had orders to shoot any prisoners that ventured into this forbidden area.

- Notes:
- One of the barracks at Dunaszerdahley is ablaze at night. This was one of the worst nightmares for POW's because fires were particularly dangerous in packed barracks. Camp administrators strictly prohibited smoking and other fire hazards in camp buildings in an attempt to prevent conflagrations and trained fire crews to rescue prisoners and combat the flames.

The signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk ended the fighting on the Eastern Front and temporarily established the regency in Warsaw as the legitimate Polish government.
