Bank Office at Muenster

Notes:

Allied prisoners sometimes needed banking services while in prison. Families could send remittances to prisoners to improve their standard of living, neutral officials distributed financial aid to POW's in distress, and the Germans employed POW's on labor detachments. British and French prisoners ran this bank in Muenster I.
