DURCHGANGSLAGER (DULAG) 410
The Wehrmacht formed Dulag 410 on September 14, 1943, in Defense District (Wehrkreis) X and deployed it to Salonika (today Thessaloniki) (map 8). In December 1943, the unit was replaced by Dulag 185 and returned to Defense District Х, where it was disbanded.1 Dulag 410 received field post number (Feldpostnummer) 13 985 on October 2, 1943. The number was struck on March 8, 1944. The camp was under the command of the Prisoner of War District Commander Z (Kriegsgefangenen-Bezirkskommandant Z) in Belgrade.
The camp commandant from September to December 1943 was Oberstleutnant der Reserve Kurt Petroschky (previously commandant of Stalag X A) and the deputy camp commandant was Major der Reserve Dr. Georg Müller-Jürgens (previously deputy commandant of Stalag 370).2
Dulag 410 held Italian military prisoners. The prisoners were supposed to be sent to the eastern front for forced labor. Specific information about the conditions in the camp is not available, but, in general, the Germans treated Italian prisoners harshly.
