stevem Posted 1 July , 2005 Share Posted 1 July , 2005 Hi The following is from Mrs Pope-Henessy's list of prisoner of war camps: "A busy town (pop. 17 600) containing cloth and cotton factories. The camp was opened in 1914, and consists of hutments, each holding 250 men. Capacity 10 000. Centre of numerous working commandos. American prisoner here. 11th Army Group."

Canadawwi Posted 3 July , 2005 Share Posted 3 July , 2005 I have one POW account relating to Langensalza on my website here: http://groups.msn.com/CanadaWorldWarOnethe...to&PhotoID=4188 The soldier in question was Pte. G. Lee, Leicestershire Regiment. The article appeared in the Toronto Evening Telegram, June 20th, 1918. That was the only account relating to Langensalza I can think of at the moment, but there are also about 70 other POW accounts on there. These can be accessed by moving forward from that account, or backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyford Posted 4 July , 2005 Share Posted 4 July , 2005 Hi Malte Thank you very much for those excellent pictures. I liked the 2 which show some of the environs of the camp. Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swally Posted 4 July , 2005 Author Share Posted 4 July , 2005 Hi Malte, Thank you for posting the pictures an incredible insight into POW camps. Do you have any further info, I believe that it was mainly Russian prisoners with very little British soldiers. Ally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malte Znaniecki Posted 8 July , 2005 Share Posted 8 July , 2005 hi Ally excuse my late answer, I' ve spent some days on the beach near Husum (North Sea), where my roots are. Langensalza was a camp with prisoners from different countries, but I don't know yet the numeric relation in which they stood to one another. I am looking for more Information. If I'm lucky I can afford a list or statistic. If I can get new material, I shall place it here for you. Best regards from Hamburg Malte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malte Znaniecki Posted 11 July , 2005 Share Posted 11 July , 2005 Hi Kate and Ally on this site you'll find some historical sights of the town Langensalza, in the condition in which the prisoners of WW1 have seen it. The town was destroyed in 1945 and less remains to its former character. http://www.info-langensalza.de/bad-langensalza/ansicht.htm I'm looking for more Malte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
