The town of Żagań is very... More

we toured around the different stalags and barracks as the museum was closed for the holiday. The area is rich in history. you can see the tunnel and there are plaques with all the names of the escapees and what happened to them. This is a must see in Poland! More

Ever since I saw the movie, I wished to visit the location. However, there is very little information on the internet on how to find Stalag Luft 3. Nevertheless, I urge you to make the effort to see this piece of history before it crumbles away into the woods. The location of the camp is just southwest of Zagan in... More
