Arbeitskommandos (Work Camps) supplied from Stalag IV-D

This is a list of Arbeitskommandos (Work Camps) supplied with PoW labour from Stalag IV-D.  It is not comprehensive as a full list of all AKs for this or any other camp appears not to exist today in Germany or elsewhere.

It has been compiled by DIZ, Torgau using camp inspection reports of the Red Cross whose visits to AKs were by no means all-inclusive.  These entries are in BLACK.  I have supplemented the list with a few other AKs (in BLUE) mentioned in the liberated PoW interrogation questionnaires available to view in the National Archives at Kew, London.  Again these are by no means comprehensive as I have only looked at a handful of the 140,000+ reports held there.  I hope to add to the list from this source as and when time allows.  If anyone can add new AKs to the list please let me know via the "Contact Me" link and I will add them in GREEN.

Some of the reports were written in French and certain words were in German.  My thanks to the director of DIZ, Torgau for his assistance with translation where required.  One or two words however still defy my translation skills and have been left in RED.  Again, if anyone can assist in translation or with any additional information about kommandos supplied from IV-D, please contact me.
