40th Alabama is on a distinguished road
Need some help with German-Concentration Camp Name

Was watching the WAR documentary series tonight and recognized a location for which I have pictures. There was an interview with a soldier who pronounced the camp name as Lud (as in flood)-wick-slutz. I searched the internet for such names with as many spellings as I could find and can't turn up anything. Can someone with a knowledge of German help me with some spelling?

thanks so much

The only one I know similar is Stalag V(A) in Ludwicksburg?

Or Ludwicks - Luft for Camps of Airmen. There is not a Luft listed there.

Someone else may have a better knowledge.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
