Arrival of Provisions at Wetzlar

Notes:

French prisoners unload food provisions in baskets from a wagon under the supervision of a German NCO and armed guards. Soup pots sit on the ground to the right. The scene is from the Winter of 1914-1915 and it is cold--many of the prisoners have their hands in their pockets. The prison barracks at Wetzlar stand behind the prisoners.
