Description

A tennis match in progress at a tennis court made by the prisoners of war (POWs) themselves, at the POW camp at Stalag VIIA in Moosburg. A French POW named Pelizzta is at the net having returned the serve to an unidentified POW at the opposite end. There is a large crowd of seated POWs watching from the sidelines.
