Yugoslavia, Kingdom. An Extensive Lot of Serbian POW Camp Correspondence from Stalag VIII-C

An extensive lot of 32 Stalag VIII-C POW camp correspondence from incarcerated Serbian soldier Stojan Đurđević, each featuring a handwritten letter in Latin script to his wife Katica, all featuring Stalag VIII-C stamps and Belgrade postal service marks for the years 1941-1944, some displaying age-appropriate fatigue and discolouration, a fascinating individual collection in overall very fine condition.

Footnote: Located near Sagan, Germany, Stalag VIII-C was opened in September 1939 to house polish POWs and was adjacent to the infamous Stalag Luft III (site of the “Great Escape”). The camp later housed French and Belgian prisoners, before the 1941 invasion of the Balkans resulted in an influx of Yugoslav inmates. As the camp was mainly populated by prisoners regarded as undesirable by German authorities, including Slavic and French colonial inmates, conditions were particularly appalling, with rampant crowding, disease, and starvation a daily reality. It was eventually liberated by the Red Army in February 1945.
