dbo:abstract
  • Dulag Luft (Durchgangslager der Luftwaffe, Transit Camp of the Airforce) were Prisoner of War (POW) transit camps for German-captured members of the Air Force during World War II. Their main purpose was to act as collection and interrogation centres for newly captured aircrew, before they were transferred in batches to the permanent camps. Several camps were set up throughout Germany and the occupied countries, however the main centre used throughout the war was at Oberursel near Frankfurt. A satellite camp at Wetzlar was set up later in the war to help cope with the large numbers of aircrew captured as the bombing campaign intensified against Germany. Allegations of interrogation under torture have been made by numerous POWs who passed through the camps. The Germans had established a similar facility, the "Listening Hotel", in the First World War. This was located at 39 Ettlinger Strasse in Karlsruhe and was a former business hotel, the Europäischer Hof. The "Listening Hotel" should not be confused with the regular Officers' Camp in Karlsuhe in that war. (en)
  • Das Dulag Luft, Abkürzung von „Durchgangslager der Luftwaffe“, war während des Zweiten Weltkrieges von 1939 bis 1945 ein Verhör- und Durchgangslager für vorwiegend britische und US-amerikanische Kriegsgefangene der jeweiligen Luftstreitkräfte und die wichtigste Stelle zur Informationsgewinnung der deutschen Luftwaffe. Offiziell wurde es daher ab Ende 1941 dienstintern und ab 1943 ausschließlich und offiziell „Auswertestelle West“ (AWSW) genannt. Das Lager befand sich am nordwestlichen Ortsrand der Gemeinde Oberstedten (heute der größte Stadtteil von Oberursel) im Hochtaunus. (de)
