Scarce Ausweis

[SiPo]

Here's a piece you don't see everyday!

Ausweis to POW guard at Stammlager 326 (VI/K) at Senne, Stuckenbrock.

Used as a camp for Soviet POW's from 1941, it's complement was extended in 1942 to include Polish, Serbian and French POW's and by 1943 it was also housing Italian POW's. Due to the apparently poor conditions, it is estimated that somewhere in the region of 15,000 to 100,000 people died in the camp.

It was liberated by US troops April '45.

The camp is preserved today and has it's own website.

Very cool. I really enjoy this type of material, I have a small collection of items from Landesschuetzen units. I would love to have something like this.

Took almost 3 years but I was finally able to find an Ausweis like this for my collection.
