- Photograph of the interior of a barrack, probably housing French prisoners, in the prison camp at Minden. As demonstrated by the property hanging on the walls of the dormitory, POW's brought few possessions with them into captivity.

- Notes:
- The German medical staff conducts inoculations of French prisoners of war in a hospital ward at the prison camp at Meschede. Typhus became the scourge of POW camps and the disease could spread like wild fire in the cramped conditions of the enlisted men's barracks. Prisoners of war from Russia and Romania carried typhus and other infectious diseases into captivity and after the contagion at Wittenberg, German authorities went to great lengths to prevent another outbreak.
