Stalag IV-B

Mühlberg, Germany

One of the largest prisoner-of-war camps in Germany, near Mühlberg on the Elbe north of Dresden, holding men of more than thirty nations — among them many RAF aircrew. When the Red Army liberated it in April 1945 some 30,000 prisoners were crowded inside, around 7,000 of them British.
