Stalag IV-G was a German World War II prisoner-of-war camp (Stammlager) for NCOs and enlisted men.
It was not a camp in the usual sense, but a series of Arbeitslager ("Work Camps") scattered throughout the state of Saxony, administered from a central office on Lutherstraße[1] in Oschatz, a small town situated between Leipzig and Dresden.
[2] The International Red Cross, following an inspection tour of 11–16 March 1945, reported that there were a total of 5,233 prisoners, of which 4,457 were British and Commonwealth, and 776 American.
Of these only 20 POW were at the HQ in Oschatz, performing administration tasks, while the rest were assigned to 76 separate Arbeitskommando ("Work details"), working in agriculture, forestry, and industry.
The report notes the generally poor health of the Americans, and some British, who were suffering from the effects of being marched from camps further east.
