French Gymnastics Club at Erfurt

Notes:

Members of a French gymnastics club at Erfurt exercise on the high bar in the compound of the camp. One prisoner is swinging on the bar and another is landing in a dismount to the right. Two German soldiers and the club members observe the performance. Some of the camp's two-story buildings stand in the background.
