Interior of a French Barrack at Goettingen

View Item Record

Notes:

This was the interior of an enlisted men's barrack for French prisoners of war in the prison camp at Goettingen. While the prisoners did have some belongings, which are stacked on the shelves behind the POW's, the conditions were very cramped in this barrack. There is room, however, for a piano against the back wall which one of the soldiers is playing.
