Officers' Room at Koenigstein

Notes:

Four Russian officers relax in their quarters in the prison camp at Koenigstein. Their table is covered with a nice white linen, a table lamp, a double tea pot, and desert dishes. One prisoner reads a newspaper, while the officer behind him appears a bit bored. The standard of living enjoyed by officers was far superior to the lifestyles of enlisted prisoners.
