War Prisoners Enjoy a Card Game in Heuberg
Description:
A group of Russian prisoners play a game of cards in their barrack at Heuberg using a stool as their card table. Gambling could become a serious vice in prison camps, especially since many prisoners had a lot of time on their hands and few wholesome diversions. Note that the POWs hung their dining utensils and clothing on the walls of their barrack.
