FRONTSTAMMLAGER (FRONTSTALAG) 110
The Wehrmacht established Frontstalag 110 on July 20, 1940, in Defense District (Wehrkreis) II. From August 1940 to February 1941, the camp was stationed in Brussels (map 2). On February 9, 1941, the camp headquarters was recalled to Defense District II and on March 16, 1941, it was converted into Dulag 110. While deployed in Belgium, the camp was subordinate to the Military Commander of France (Wehrmachtbefehlshaber Frankreich) and Commander of Prisoner of War District VII (Kommandeur des Kriegsgefangenen-Bezirks VII).
Frontstalag 110 held French prisoners of war. The conditions were satisfactory and generally in keeping with the provisions of the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War (1929).
