- A squatting Italian prisoner tears into a loaf of bread while another Italian POW watches in the prison compound at Mauthausen. By the end of the war, the Allied blockade had a serious impact on the quantity and quality of rations that the Austrians provided to prisoners. This desperate situation was compounded by the Italian government's decision to restrict parcel shipments to POW's in the Dual Monarchy after the Caporetto fiasco.

- This photograph shows a sample of paper script and coins used in prison camps in Austria and Germany. The coins and several examples of paper money came from Kleinmuenchen and consist of small denominations ranging from one Heller to 50 Hellers (the other script came from Koenigstein-an-der-Elbe and Chemnitz in Saxony in the German Empire). This script replaced legal currency which prisoners could use to make purchases at the canteen or other stores in the prison camp.

The Italians were desperate to receive food parcels to help them survive their captivity.
