- British interned civilians file through the prison camp kitchen and have hot soup ladled into their dinner buckets.

- This French menu for the prison camp at Zossen-Weinberg appeared in the German magazine "Der Krieg." The menu dates from the early part of the war and describes the lunches and dinners served at Zossen on a daily basis. It includes an illustration of a French prisoner wearing wooden clogs, eating dinner in a chair. The menu gave German readers an idea of the fare the German government provided to Allied prisoners of war under Ministry of War care.

Meals had to be mass produced to meet the nutritional requirements of prison camps three times a day.
