Pondside Stores at Ruhleben
Description:
When the prison camp at Ruhleben experienced heavy rains, the pond in the infield of the race track increased greatly in size and patrons of the Pondside Stores had to use wooden planks to make their purchases. Entrepreneurs could turn a profit even in prison camps, especially if they excelled in a trade.
