Arrival of the Parcel Post Wagon at Dunaszerdahley

View Item Record

Notes:

The top of the pile of parcels in a wagon can just be seen over the heads of a group of Italian prisoners in the prison compound at Dunaszerdahley. The POW's will unload the wagon and the Hungarian censors will inspect the parcels for contraband before they are distributed to the prisoners. The Italians were desperate to receive food parcels to help them survive their captivity.
