Russian POWs Search for Food at Langensalza

Food conditions were harsh for Russian prisoners of war in German prison camps who did not receive food parcels from home. This drawing depicts two Russian POW\u27s scrounging in used ration pots, which contain rejected food, for scraps to supplement their daily rations. These pots contained garbage from the barracks and well supplied British and French prisoners often threw out many of their German rations.https://scholarworks.wmich.edu/wwi_pow_camps/2217/thumbnail.jp
