Stalag 383

These are graphics of the allied prisoners in Stalag 383,
a German prisoner of war camp located near
the Breitenwinner Cave

























          Stalag 383 is a little-known, but amazing story of the tribulations of allied prisoners under German imprisonment.  The program above was produced by the prisoners of Stalag 383 for a play produced at the camp.  Not only was this program printed from hand-carved wood blocks, but the theater the play was presented in was constructed from a barracks in the camp, which the prisoners had torn down for the materials.
          This, and other stories about the prisoners of Stalag 383 can be found in the online book "Barbed Wire: Memories of Stalag 383",  which can be found here:
