Description
The German authorities at the prison camp at Villingen provided Allied POW officers with postal stationery with the camp menu printed on the other side. This stationery was issued for propaganda purposes to show that Allied prisoners received appetizing rations during their captivity. Note that POW's did not have to use stamps to send correspondence through the mail under international postal regulations.
