, Germany, Lower Saxony, Sandbostel - Wooden barracks of the Sandbostel camp memorial (former prisoner of war camp Stalag X B Sandbostel during the Nazi era). From the end of September 1939 until (liberation), several hundred thousand prisoners from all over the world passed through the camp. Thousands did not survive. Prisoner of war camps were also a place of crimes against humanity and war crimes for the Nazis. According to racial ideology, Soviet and Polish soldiers often died of starvation, while the British and Americans, for example, were treated more humanely. The Prisoner of War Department of the Supreme Command of the Wehrmacht (OKW) was responsible for the care of prisoners of war in German custody and the organisation of the camp system.
