    Is there a map showing the locations of the PoW Camps located in Poland?
    Just wondering as if I did get to Poland on holiday it would be interesting to see where they were.

    Owen, I don't know where it is, but once I had a copy of a map of an Arnhem veteran, which showed all the POW camps in WOII, it was send out by the Red Cross

    Cheers for the extra info chaps.
    Yes Ron I saw that, it's also mentioned in the book Italy's Sorrow that I read awhile back.
    I've just read this pdf from CWGC about the 3 cemeteries in Poland.

    Thanks for posting the maps--Grandfather was at 3 of these listed and 2 places not listed. This is a great reference.
