Showers

Shower-houses with concrete floors were constructed in the different areas of the camp. At first only cold water was available, but later arrangements were made for the supply of a limited amount of hot water, especially in the colder weather. The cleansing of the floor boards with antiseptics to prevent the spread of tinea was regularly carried out.
