- French prisoners carry out hot bowls of soup from the camp kitchen in Zossen and are heading back to their barrack to enjoy their meal. In some prison camps, all POWs had to report to the camp kitchen for their rations while at others two prisoners would visit the kitchen and bring back a large pot of rations which would be distributed inside the barracks.

- Notes:
- This table shows the reductions in German food rations between April 1915 and March 1916 for a variety of foods. The statistics clearly indicate the effectiveness of the Allied blockade of German food imports as people had to give up a variety of foods. Prisoners of war also experienced these food shortages, although Allied prisoners received the same rations as German troops. While the reduction in rations had little effect on American, British, and French POW's, because they received regular food parcels from home, the impact of lowered nutritional standards had a serious impact on Russian, Serbian, Romanian, and Italian prisoners.

A barrel of peeled potatoes stands next to the sink. To feed a large prison population took a great deal of time, effort, and resources. Many camps acquired machines to peel potatoes to meet POW dietary needs.
