Summary

Description
English: Photo of prisoners of war in worn-out uniforms during World War II in German-occupied Norway 1940–1945, in a German prisoner or labor camp, possibly a Nazi concentration camp in Alta, Finnmark. They gather around pots of food, likely soup. The prisoners are probably Eastern European POWs, forced into slave labor in Northern Norway. Soldiers of the Wehrmacht, the military forces of Nazi Germany, are guarding the prisoners. Some of the soldiers are smiling.

The paper photograph is marked on the back with writing in hand with the German inscription Gefangene beim Essenfassen, which translates to "Prisoners while eating."

The photograph is copied from the collections of the Museum of Reconstruction for Finnmark and North Troms (Norwegian: Gjenreisningsmuseet) in Hammerfest, Norway, a World War II memorial museum as part of the Museene for kystkultur og gjenreisning i Finnmark IKS. The image is published under the license "public domain," indicating it is an intellectual property without copyright.

Norsk bokmål: Bildet viser krigsfanger i slitte uniformer for den røde armé under andre verdenskrig i det tysk-okkuperte Norge 1940–1945, som flokker seg rundt gryter med mat i en tyskkontrollert leir, kanskje i Alta i Finnmark. Fangene er antakelig «russerfanger» fra østfronten på slavearbeid i Nord-Norge. Fangene blir bevoktet av soldater i Wehrmacht, de militære styrkene til Nazi-Tyskland. Noen av soldatene smiler.

Papirbildet er merket bak med den tyske påskriten Gefangene beim Essenfassen, «Fanger som spiser».

Bildet er kopiert fra samlingene til Gjenreisningsmuseet i Hammerfest og er publisert på Digitalt Museum under lisensen «offentlig eie» (public domain, åndsverk uten opphavsrett).
