Disinfection Station at Guben

Russian prisoners hang clothing in an outdoors disinfection chamber under the supervision of German NCO\u27s in the prison camp at Guben. To prevent the introduction of infectious diseases, all new prisoners entering a prison camp had their clothing disinfected in these types of chambers. They operated using high temperature steam to kill any vermin or microbes.https://scholarworks.wmich.edu/wwi_pow_camps/2092/thumbnail.jp
