Detailed History
Allied aircrew shot down during World War II were incarcerated after interrogation in Air Force Prisoner of War camps run by the Luftwaffe, called Stalag Luft, short for Stammlager Luft or Permanent Camps for Airmen.
Stalag Luft IV was located at Gross Tychow, Pomerania, (now Tychowo, Poland), 20 kilometers southeast of Belgard.
Air Corps NCO's were held at this camp.

I am Susan Thompson, Robert D Thompson's daughter. I know through Leonard Lincoln, whom I have also added, that he and my father spent many months here prior to a short stay in Dulag Luft and finally Stalag Luft XI B after the Baatan Death March.
