- An international orchestra composed of Allied prisoners performs under the direction of a German director in the prison camp at Wahn. The orchestra includes stringed, reed, and percussion instruments and the music stands appear to have been made in the camp. Musical performances helped improve camp morale and many musicians were internationally-renowned before the war.

- The audience in the theater at Dyrotz enjoys a French production. In the front row, behind the prison orchestra, sits a visiting delegation--the German officers sitting to the left appears to be having a particularly good time at the show.
