In a closer view the soldier in the bunk rests his head on his raised hand and looks down with a sceptical expression, while the soldier in the foreground leans an arm on a carton of Philip Morris and speaks to him, and the third turns his head to listen. According to the source the three discuss the cost of the occupation of Germany to the United States; two of them intend to get rich on the black market with cigarettes. In occupied Germany cigarettes served as a currency.
