Talk:Stalag Luft 7

(First comment)
I am going to delete all of the names in the list because A) they are uncited and B) I do not see that they are providing anything to the article. If the person who created it comes back, you can recover the list from the history of the article and reincorporate/cite/explain it. Thanks. Joshdboz 13:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Corrected name
Research indicates that the original name of this article "Stalag Luft VII-A" was in error. The VII-A would indicate an army operated camp located in northern Germany in Germany Army District (Wehrkreis) VII. This camp was located in Silesia (Schlesien) which was Wehrkreis VIII. However Stalag Luft were operated by the Air Force (Luftwaffe), not the army, and were given simple numbers, such as the famous Stalag Luft 3. There has been confusion between roman and ordinary numbers. The Luftwaffe used ordinary numbers 1, 2, 3 etc, rather than I, II, III.., but there is confusion in the literature. This camp was actually called Stalag Luft 7.

The article stated that Stalag Luft 7 was at Luckenwaalde, near Bankau. Bankau was indeed the site of the camp but I can verify from two 1st hand diaries that Luckenwaalde was the site of Stalag 3A, around 30 miles south of Berlin, their destination after the long forced March away from the advancing Russian army. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.227.149 (talk) 08:54, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Name, again
This is the only article in the POW camp template that uses Arabic, rather than Roman, numerals. Is there a reason why it shouldn't be moved to "Stalag Luft VII"? Or should we be moving all the Air Force camps to Arabic? Xyl 54 (talk) 01:53, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
