- French prisoners of war carry their barrack's ration of soup in the large part in the prison compound in Goettingen. They will serve the meal to their messmates in their quarters. This type of distribution avoided long food lines of individual POW's at the camp kitchen; this approach simultaneously prevented German authorities from supervision the final distribution of the rations.
