- Notes:
- This photograph shows four potatoes that have been "sabotaged" by Allied prisoners working on agricultural labor detachments. The POW's cut the eyes out of the potatoes and without these seeds, the Germans would be unable to grow the next crop of potatoes. Due to the effectiveness of the Allied blockade, this practice placed an even greater burden on the German war economy.

Epidemics raged quickly through prison camps due to the close proximity of prisoners in cramped barracks and German medical staffs took preventative measures to ensure healthy prison camps. German authorities were also concerned about civilian populations and possible epidemics especially since prison camps were constructed near towns and the war prisoners often provided labor for a variety of projects.
