The nature of prisoner of war (POW) work and the items they made varied greatly throughout history and according to different conflicts. Apart from being utilised as forced labour, in some camps, prisoners were able to procure basic materials and tools to manufacture clothes, furniture, toys, and other everyday items which in some cases were sold to the civilian population. Materials used included timber, bone and straw. (See also trench art.)
