French Business Office at Goettingen

Notes:

French prisoners of war in the prison camp at Goettingen could apply for a wide variety of jobs at the camp's Business Office. They could choose employment in publicity, in the library, in the theater, etc. In the back of the room stand some interesting wooden models of the Eiffel Tower and a windmill which reflects the expertise of inmate wood carvers.
