Tychowo [tɨˈxɔvɔ] (Kashubian: Tëchòwò; German: Groß Tychow) is a town in Białogard County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.
Tychowo dates back to an early medieval Slavic settlement,[2] which became part of the emerging Polish state in the 10th century.
During World War II the Germans established the Stalag Luft IV prisoner-of-war camp.
The prisoners were mainly Americans, but also the British, Canadians, Russians, Poles, Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans, Czechs, French and one Norwegian.
[3] In February 1945, a German-perpetrated death march of Allied prisoners-of-war from the Stalag XX-B POW camp passed through the settlement.
