Camp Fence at Muenster

Notes:

This photograph shows the camp fence with several German sentry posts and the side of a two-story brick building at Muenster. A bicycle stands in the doorway of the building and there are window boxes full of flowers to adorn the building. Many war prisoners engaged in gardening to pass the time. Unlike many prison camps that were constructed from scratch, Muenster utilized existing buildings to accommodate POW's and administrative offices.
