Stalag I-A was a German prisoner-of-war camp located near the village of Stablack, about 8.5 km (5.3 mi) north-west of Preußisch Eylau, East Prussia (now Bagrationovsk in Russian Kaliningrad Oblast).[1]
The camp was built in late 1939 by Polish prisoners of war. In 1940 the Poles were joined by Belgian and French prisoners, and by Russians in 1941.[1] Some British and Italian prisoners were also there.[2] On 25 January 1945, as Russian troops approached, the camp was abandoned and all prisoners were evacuated to the west.[1]
Kommandos of Stalag I-A[]
Few of the men registered at Stalag I-A were housed at the main camp, as most were assigned to Kommandos (sub-camps) spread over the entire district.[1]
