Description
Five Russian prisoners cut up wood scraps to prepare a fire to boil water to make tea in the prison compound at Hammerstein. The wooden barracks in the camp stand in the background. German authorities did not allow prisoners to cook inside of their barracks due to the threat of fire, although tea or water could be boiled on top of the heating stoves during the winter.
