Stalag VII-A Moosburg

Moosburg, Germany

Stalag VII-A, just north of Moosburg in Bavaria, was the largest prisoner-of-war camp in wartime Germany. Opened in 1939 for Polish prisoners and built for some 10,000 men, it served as a vast transit and holding camp through which prisoners of every Allied nation passed, and by the war’s end it was desperately overcrowded — around 76,000 men in the main camp and tens of thousands more in outlying work detachments. Many RAF and Allied aircrew passed through or ended the war here, among them men marched south from Stalag Luft III and other camps ahead of the Soviet advance. It was liberated by Patton’s US Third Army on 29 April 1945.
