Hospital Ward at Soltau

Notes:

View of the interior of a ward in the lazarette at the prison camp at Soltau. The beds in this ward are full of sick and wounded Allied prisoners of war. The ward is well-provisioned with beds, blankets, and orderlies. The oven in the center of the ward provided heat and was common in POW barracks. The ward, like the barracks, is well ventilated with numerous windows.
