Stalag VIII-D was a German World War II prisoner-of-war camp (Stammlager) located at the outskirts of Teschen, (now Český Těšín, Czech Republic).

[4] Because of these organizational and number changes there is considerable confusion in accounts of prisoners, even in official German records.

At the end of 1943 within Stalag VIII-B Teschen there were about 50,000 Soviet prisoners, and another 10,000 from other countries,[3] including Great Britain, the Commonwealth and Italy.

In general, the conditions in the main Teschen camp and in all the sub-camps were deplorable.

The men were marched along country roads towards the Oder, first north towards Dresden, then when the Germans changed their mind, south towards Bavaria, eventually reaching Stalag XIII-D near Nuremberg.
