1. An Italian POW Eats Bread at Mauthausen

Notes:
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.

2. Serbian Boy POWs in the Compound at Braunau-in-Boehmen

Notes:
Boy prisoners at the Braunau-in-Boehmen prison camp receive dinners of soup from the wooden barrels in the camp compound. Serbian prisoners ladle out their dinners under the supervision of an Austrian NCO. The Association made special efforts to persuade Austrian authorities to concentrate boy prisoners in this camp. The Austrians incarcerated over 2,000 boys in the facility. They accompanied their fathers into battle and were captured by the Austrians.
