Oflag XXI-B, World War II prisoner camp in Szubin, Poland.
The facility contained barracks and administrative buildings surrounding a former Polish school, enclosed by barbed wire fences and guard towers.
German forces established the camp in September 1939, initially detaining Polish civilians before converting it to hold military officers from various Allied nations.
Officers in the camp maintained their military traditions and ranks, organizing educational lectures and creating artworks to document their experiences.
The camp held different groups of prisoners throughout its operation, including Polish, French, British, and American officers, with a capacity exceeding 1,400 people.
In March 1943, prisoners attempted a mass escape through a tunnel, leading to the facility's transformation into Oflag 64 for American officers.
