Prison Compound at Freiburg in Winter

Notes:

Allied officers stand in the snow in the courtyard of the prison camp at Freiburg. The officers' camp was located in the old university building in the town and the prisoners had access to the quadrangle. As demonstrated by the heavy now on the branches of the trees, a snow storm just ended. The prisoners are carrying wood to heat their quarters.
