- A group of Allied officers enjoy a swim in the Elbe on a hot summer day under the watchful eyes of their German guards. The Germans did not take any chances during this excursion away from the prison; note the guard boat in the middle of the river to make sure that there are no long distance swimming records.

- Russian prisoners relax on the bank of a small lake while other prisoners enjoy a swim near Grafenwoehr. The Germans fenced off the swimming area to deter prisoners from taking too long a swim. Such excursions usually required prisoners to give their parole, or word, that they would not try to escape during their trip away from camp.
