The Wehrmacht formed Dulag 200 on August 13, 1941, from Frontstalag 200, and transferred it to the Army Group North Rear Area (Heeresgebiet Nord).¹ Until June 1942, it deployed to Narva (map 9a),² with a subcamp in Kingisepp. In June 1942, the camp moved to Priluki, in Ukraine (9f). Dulag 200 received field post number (Feldpostnummer) 28 846 between February 15 and July 30, 1942. The number was struck on [End Page 105] August 30, 1943. While it was located in Narva, the camp was subordinate to the Eighteenth Army Rear Area Commander (Kommandant rückwärtiges Armeegebiet, Korück, 583).

Dulag 200 held Soviet prisoners of war (POWs). The conditions in the camp were similar to those in other camps for Soviet POWs. Overcrowding, malnutrition, unsanitary conditions, and lack of proper medical care led to widespread starvation and disease, which produced a high mortality rate. Abuse by the guards exacerbated the prisoners’ suffering. However, a German official who visited the camp in Narva reported on May 20, 1942, that the prisoners’ quarters, the kitchen, and the delousing facilities in the camp were in good shape. The camp was guarded by Estonian Selbstschutz personnel.³

On July 4, 1942, the camp was redesignated as the headquarters of the Azerbaijani Eastern Legion (Ost-Legion) and ceased to function as a POW camp.
