Dolgorukovo (Russian: Долгоруково, Polish: Stabławki) is a rural settlement in Bagrationovsky District of Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia, close to the border with Poland.
History
[edit]The village was the location of the northern section of the Stalag I-A German prisoner-of-war camp, with the southern section located in Kamińsk, now on the other side of the border, in Poland. The camp was established on 6 September 1939, during the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II.[3] It initially held Polish POWs, then also French and Belgian POWs from 1940, Soviet POWs from 1941, Italian POWs from 1943, plus also smaller numbers of British and Serbian POWs.[3] In January 1945, the prisoners were sent on a death march westwards, whereas some 240 Soviet, Polish and French POWs who could not walk were left in the camp.[3]
Sights
[edit]There is an international cemetery of prisoners of the Stalag I-A German prisoner-of-war camp from World War II in the village.[4]
