Beniaminów

Beniaminów [bɛɲaˈminuf] is a village in central Poland, administratively located in the Legionowo County in the Masovian Voivodeship.

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, Beniaminów was occupied by Germany.

In 1942, the German Wehrmacht ran the Stalag 368 prisoner-of-war camp for Soviet POWs, notably many of non-Russian origin, e.g. Georgians, Belarusians, Uzbeks, in the village.

[1] In 1943, the Germans relocated the Stalag 333 POW camp from Komorowo to Beniaminów.

In January 1944, it was converted into the Oflag 73 POW camp for Italian, Soviet, Romanian and Polish officers.
