Description

Depicts a loaf of bread with '15' on the top. Rations in the Oflag 7B camp were provided by the German guards, however, inmates subsituted this diet with foodstuffs received through Red Cross parcels. Parcels could be received weekly and in many camps, POW inmates had better rations than the German guards.
