Canteen at Bautzen

Notes:

British and French POW's visit the canteen in the prison camp in Bautzen. The canteen is well-stocked with boots, slippers, suspenders, knives/razors, and other goods (including sausages) while a German soldier mans the cash register. This photograph was taken early in the war when prison stocks were plentiful and the Allied blockade had not taken its toll on the German economy.
