Łambinowice – Łambinowice (German: Lamsdorf) is a small village in southwestern Poland, in the Opole Province, where a Prussian military training ground was established in the 19th century.
During the Franco-Prussian War, it was converted into a camp, later known as Camp Lamsdorf. The camp was rebuilt during World War II. During World War II, Lamsdorf was one of the largest Nazi prisoner-of-war camps in Europe.During this time, approximately 300,000 soldiers of nearly 50 nationalities were held in the camp for several years, many of whom died. After the end of World War II, the camp continued to function as a detention and resettlement camp for German civilians. Today, the Łambinowice Memorial Site, a unique museum in Europe, preserves the memory of all the victims of the prisoner-of-war camp.
During the tour, you will visit the Central Museum of Prisoners of War in the infamous Stalag VIII-B camp, where prisoners were held in appalling conditions.
