visit in Szubin (Schubin) Oflag 64

Last Saturday we had a great opportunity to take part in historical reconstruction of Oflag 64 in Szubin (Schubin), Stalag XXI, 75 km east from Toruń (Thorn). We saw a model of an Oflag made by kids from a nearby school, people dressed up in prisoners of war uniforms. The organisers prepared a small exhibition and performences devoted to living conditions in an Oflag 64. It was a great pleasure to be there and see a living history. Hope local people saw and therefore understood the concept of Oflags. Great job Mr Mariusz Winiecki from Oflag64Blog
