3523. Barrack on Fire in the Prison Camp at Dunaszerdahley

Notes:
One of the barracks at Dunaszerdahley is ablaze at night. This was one of the worst nightmares for POW's because fires were particularly dangerous in packed barracks. Camp administrators strictly prohibited smoking and other fire hazards in camp buildings in an attempt to prevent conflagrations and trained fire crews to rescue prisoners and combat the flames.

3524. A Group of Italian POWs in the Courtyard at Laibach

Notes:
Dejected and dirty Italian prisoners sit in the castle prison courtyard at Laibach. An Austrian non-commissioned officer stands to the right near the doorway of the castle. The photograph caption describes the Italians as "basking in the sun," but it is clear that they have a lot of time on their hands and little to do in Austrian captivity.
