Stalag IV B was where Kurt Vonnegut was imprisoned.
The guide at Ehrenhain Zeithain had said that at Mühlberg the camp had been demolished and the site was returning to the woods, and he wasn’t joking. The foundations of the buildings remain, accompanied with placards labeling them and providing some narrative. It’s a warm, beautiful day, and the woods are filled with bird noises. Poo-tee-weet?
I am standing on what was the floor of a hut where prisoners of war lived and died.
