Oflag VIII-E Johannisbrunn

Oflag VIII-E was a World War II German prisoner-of-war camp for Allied general officers (Offizierlager) located in Jánské Koupele (then Johannisbrunn) in German-occupied Czechoslovakia (now located in the Moravian–Silesian Region, Czech Republic).

The camp, a former spa hotel, was opened in July 1940[1] and housed approximately 70 Allied generals and their aides.

Among those officers imprisoned were 30 from Poland, 24 from France, 7 from the Netherlands, 6 from Belgium, 1 from the United Kingdom, and a Colonel from Norway.

On April 27, 1942, all the Poles were transferred to other camps, mostly to Oflag VII-A Murnau.
