Distribution of Parcels to French Prisoners at Stendal

Notes:

French prisoners inspect each of the parcels received by the prison camp at Stendal under the supervision of a German censor (two stand to the left in the picture). The Germans strove to prevent contraband from the prison population. Once passed by the censors, these parcels would be distributed to their recipients at the camp post office.
