Dispensary at Muensingen

Notes:

A German doctor bandages a prisoner's leg in the dispensary at Muensingen in this cartoon. The doctor has quite a bit of work ahead of him as prisoners wait their turn for medical attention. Note that most of the POW's are wearing wooden shoes due to the lack of leather in Germany by the end of the war. The doctor appears to be a cavalry officer since he is wearing spurs inside the clinic.
