WARTIME GUIDES

We have managed to reproduce Stalag XXA area in google maps. Until today, what has been left from the Stalag is the fort 13, the Headquarter, restaurant and some other building. Huts no longer exists. Here is the map:

Now we are seeking any information about Stalag culture namely: sport, theatre, library and any form of entertainment there. If you have some information, pictures, letters that you would like to share we would be very grateful!

Dear families if you keep in your drawers some forgotten history that you would like to share (or explore) we will put them in our blog. maybe someone will read them and help you with exploring.
