Stalag No.s and locations

Prisoner of War Camps<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p

The German PoW camps were located in a broad corridor that extended from the German coast south of Denmark, through Germany, occupied Poland and annexed Austria to Italy, in that order. <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p

These German territories were split into military districts originally known by their Roman numeral. If there was more than one camp in a specific military district they were designated a letter according to their order of build. <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p

The PoW camps were usually sited in World War One training grounds, former PoW camps, Napoleonic Forts and castles. The German army manned most of the PoW camps. To a lesser extent Allied Air Force personnel were usually sent to PoW camps manned by the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) and naval PoWs to camps usually manned by Kriegsmarine (German Navy). <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p

The word Stalag is an abbreviation of Mannschaftsstammlager; a PoW camp used to hold enlisted men and NCOs. Stalag VIIIB is therefore the second PoW camp for enlisted men and NCOs to be built in the military district VIII. This was located in southwest Poland. <O:p</O:p
Other abbreviations for PoW camps include; Oflags for officers, Marlags for sailors, Milags for merchant marines, Stalag Lufts for Air Force personnel and Dulags for transit camps.<O:p</O:p

 

What is the differences and analogies in those 3 types Dulags, Stalags and Oflags?

Thanks for explain in advance!.

Thanks, Diane! Very clear, fast and explicative your answer!

There was a Dulag Luft at Oberursel, near Frankfurt am Main. This was a transit camp for all air force, naval pilots and air crew personnel. Dulag Luft was short for Durchgangslager der Luftwaffe, or a transit camp for air force.

The German Navy had two Dulags, or transit camps, for captured seamen. One was at SandBostel and the other at Westertimke. The seamen wer detained there until the German Navy interrogation centre at their base in Wilhelmshaven was ready to interrogate them.
After their interrogation the seamen were moved to the Milags (for Merchant Navy) or Marlags (for Royal Naval personnel).

With ref to an earlier posting of mine:

Taken off fatigues to do interpreter for Lt.”Dutch” Holland. Out in the dingo to the end of the boundary area. Crashed plane on hillside. Beer at roadside Gasthos at dinner time
Regimental Diaries:
July 31st Rgt ceasing to be under command of 78th Div (Now under 6th Armd Div)
Tuesday 31st July 1945
Out with “Dutch” again, this time to the Burgomaster at Hohentaun. Collected three crates of books from ex-Stalaag XVIII. Back early for Road Block guard. Truck broke down.

Acting in my role as un-official interpreter I went with Lt. Holland to inspect a deserted POW camp that had been used to hold a hundred or so British prisoners of war. Although it was now empty, there was something quite eerie about the atmosphere of the place; it was as though all the memories were somehow trapped inside the wooden huts, and I was glad to get out into the open air.


I looked at the map you thoughtfully provided by yourself and could only see two that could have been the camp that I visited, see Bottom Right, one shown at Spittal and one at Wolfsberg.

Any thoughts on this?

Cheers

Ron

Dear Ron:

I think that this map not shows all the camps presents in the moment, for one simple reason: The date of publication, in the mid of World War Two, and possibly only shows the "official" and declarated for the German Authorities at CCIR

If you wish know more questions about this camps, in spanish -obviously accesable means translators online- go to this subforum. The moderator, TMV is an authentic specialist of this matters: Foro Segunda Guerra Mundial :: Ver Foro - Campos de concentración y exterminio

Ron, it all ties in with what you are saying, except the Google Map gives the name of the town close to Spittal and Wolfsberg as Hohentauern, not Hohentaurn. I do not have any information on 18A and 18A/Z except that the /Z denotes that 18A/Z was a branch camp of 18A.
Diane's information shows that these locations were Stalags but the map shows them as Oflags.
Need to dig a bit more.

 

Hi all

Thanks to all of you for trying to dot the "i"s for me.

What I find of particular fascination is the fact that when I went with "Dutch" Holland to the POW camp the powers that be must have known that amongst the camp's former inmates were soldiers of the 4th Hussars originally taken prisoner in Crete.

As "Dutch" was an officer and I was a lowly Trooper he obviously didn't think it was necessary to share that information with me

I await further info with interest.

Cheers

ron

 

Ron,

Your eerie feelings for Wolfsberg Stalag XVIIIA were well founded. The first PoWs to be incarcerated there were taken in Crete. As with all PoW camps the influx of PoWs left the Germans unable to feed them and many started to fade away. It was only the arrival of the Red Cross food parcels that saved all the PoWs lives.

There is a good photo of Wolfsberg in C Rollins, 'Prisoners of War' at p 60 and plenty of information from Sapper Don Luckett RE.

In Longden's book 'Hitlers British Slaves', he tells the story of PoWs shuffling around in rags and clogs instead of proper clothing. The Red Cross visitors called it below standard.

In 1942 at Wolfsberg, William Evans and John Flynn were shot dead for refusing to work, p175.

P.S. The map is a guesstimate, Diane's list is accurate.

Thanks for your piece about Wolfsberg.

You mention my "eerie feelings". This was not new to me.

In June '44, in Rome, I had a similar dose of reacting to immediate surroundings that were later to be known to me as encompassing a more sinister past.

I wrote about the earlier experience as follows:


We had been dropped off at a lorry park near the Colosseum and so this was an obvious starting point. I followed the early crowds into the amphitheatre and tagged on to a group that had managed to secure the services of an Italian guide. After a short while I slipped away to visit the cells underneath the arena where the slaves and early Christians were held prior to the games and their subsequent death. I have never considered myself to be significantly claustrophobic but the atmosphere in the dank, shaded quarters felt unbearably evil, and I was glad to get back out into the sun and the heat.

These page apports very useful information and maps: POW Camps




Jan.

 

I took the US NARA POW data and formatted and cleaned it up (see below) for a listing of POW camps of all types. Each German Military service ran its own camps. Marlag for Navy POWs, Luft Stalag for Luftwaffe POWs, and Stalag for Wehrmacht enlisted POWs. Stalag Lufts usually held captured Allied aircrews. POW Officers were located in Oflags. Civilians in Ilags.

In addition a number of Lazarett or Hospitals were used for holding POWs as well, usually for the severely wounded or ill POWs. Work camps were subordinate to a Stalag as were hospitals and Lazarett. Plus POW camps in other countries are not called out very often.

Transit camps (Durlags) and Frontstalags are usually in countries other than Germany and just temporary POW holding areas prior to senting them on to permanent camps. Sometimes the stays in these temporary locations was months or years. These often get overlooked in listing just Stalags.

This maybe TMI but I think it needs to be said as often that POW camp map is held up as the end all and be all of camps. Note this is just European POW camps and just those that Americans reported after being repatriated.

If anyone is interested I have copies of NA file ref WO208/3293 Oflag IX A-H Spangenberg. It was a castle and looks something like Colditz!

 

MY father was born in 1913. He joined the Dutch Navy in 1932 (MLD). I only know that he was in Stalag Va for some years. I discovered a Dutch-German dictionary with his pow number, and a stamp Gepruft. He told that he weight barely 50kgs afterwards. There were also stories that they fed themselves on grapes, it was southern Germany. My father died in 1989, after leaving the service in 1978 but still working for the Defence departmant afterwards up to his 65 th (helicopters). There was one photo form that period. He was on it with an tool for stone, obviously working a some mine or so. That is what I remember. He also spent time before the war in the far east exploring indonesian territories. I am now 52 myself. My mother was English and lived through the blitz in Londen, is still alive (84).
