Hello,

This Stalag was located in three different places in Poland depending on the timeframe: Siekluki Poludniowe (8/44), Siedlce (10/41 - 07/44) and Lublin (?).

Thankyou Stacez.
Would it have been for Polish, or Soviet prisoners of war?
Thankyou, Andy

Höidal shows one of these in his book- the caption says that Stalag 366 was created in October 1941 from the existing (since April 1941) Oflag 58 in Lublin. Maybe our resident Stalag expert has more.

If it was already a camp in April, clearly the inmates weren't Soviets, but it's reasonable to think the reason it was changed to a regular Mannschaftstammlager was to accomodate the droves of Soviet POWs coming in at that time...

Stalag 366/1 was located in Siedlce. Stalag 366/2 in Suchożebry and Wola Suchożebrska.
Both housed Soviet, Italian and some French POW's.

It might be that it's simply unissued stock.
