From " Vacation With Pay" by Alan Newcomb
"December 29, 1944: I have had my picture taken! One of the guards
yielded to bribery and brought us a camera, some film and a floodlight
bulb. Captain Warren has had a good bit of experience, so he has been in
charge of the project. He took pictures from all the windows and, at
night, set up' the floods in Room Five after the blackout shutters were
closed. All those who wished had their pictures taken in groups of `
eight, then Warren finished up the roll on some posed shots.' Now the
Jerry guard is supposed to be developing the film so that we can get
copies of the pictures on our return to the States."
