- The Germans captured a number of interesting prisoners during the war. This Siberian couple is actually a man and his wife--the "soldier" in the Russian uniform on the right. She apparently disguised herself as a soldier to join her husband in military service. German authorities apparently decided to keep the couple together at Hammerstein instead of sending the woman to a civilian camp with a female population.

Some prisoners are reading, playing board games, or repairing their uniforms in front of their barracks at Nuernberg. Others have taken the opportunity to wash their clothing and hang them out to dry by the building.
