The term 'German POW Camp' refers to a Stalag, which is an acronym for Stammlager, a German term meaning 'main camp'. During World War II, Stalags were used by the Germans to house prisoners of war. These camps were typically located in Germany and its occupied territories, and were often surrounded by barbed wire and guard towers. The conditions in these camps were often harsh, with prisoners facing overcrowding, malnutrition, and disease.
