Description
Operating a large prison camp facility like Muenster required a large supply of resources and dependence on Allied labor. Russian prisoners saw trees and stack fire wood in huge piles in preparation for the onset of winter. The Germans sought to save coal and prison camps utilized wood to heat stoves and boilers during cold periods.
