Parcel Delivery to Landau

Notes:

A group of French prisoners prepare to unload a wagon full of parcels from home or a neutral welfare agency. The parcels will be inspected in the German non-commissioned officers' office for contraband before distribution to the prisoners. The POW's pulled the wagon full of parcels from the railway station which reflected the lack of horses and the abundance of war prisoners in wartime Germany.
