Axis prisoners in United States. An Axis prisoner operates a lathe at a camp in the U.S. where he and other soldiers who surrended to the Allies on the battlefields of Europe and North Africa are being held. Prisoners may work at their civilian trades or in other jobs if they wish to, thus augmenting their monthly cash allowance of $3 by the pay of 80 cents a day. The men are not permitted to work at any jobs that would aid the Allies'war effort.
