KRIEGSGEFANGENENLAGER (KGL) DÜNKIRCHEN
The Wehrmacht established KGL Dünkirchen in Dunkirk on September 4, 1944 (map 2). The unit was officially disbanded on the date of Dunkirk’s capitulation, May 8, 1945. It was apparently not part of the normal prisoner of war camp system but was run on an ad hoc basis and guarded by regular troops.
