2. Camp Kitchen at Goettingen

Notes:
This is the interior of the prison camp kitchen at Goettingen where French and British prisoners of war smoke pipes and receive instructions on that day's meal. The cooks prepare the soup in the large stoves and vats of potatoes stand along the walls. Mass production of prepared food was essential for the daily maintenance of a prison camp.

3. Soup Distribution at Goettingen

Notes:
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.

5. Food Preparation in the Camp Kitchen at Goettingen

Notes:
French and British prisoners of war sit and peel potatoes as cooks stir the soup over the stoves. These POW's have a lot of work to do given the vats full of potatoes. It was imperative for the camp kitchen feed thousands of prisoners three times a day to keep all of the POW's healthy.
