Notes:

German non-commissioned officers supervise the distribution of parcels to British prisoners of war in the compound of the prison camp at Goettingen. A Landsturm sentry, to the extreme left, stands guard during the activity. British parcels were valuable commodities in prison camps due to their rich contents.
