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.
