WW2 POW camp site between cologne and Fussen
 

Hi,<BR>We would be driving from Cologne-Wurzburg-Fussen. Besides Dacau, is there another concentration camp enroute that we can visit. We want to make a stop at least one such WW2 site, and I was wondering if it is going to be possible to avoid going to Munich (Dacau) for seeing this.<BR>Thanks

Well, I know of one, sort of. It was a camp that held several hundred Hungarian Jewish women towards the end of the war. They worked as force labor to improve the Frankfurt airport runways so they could handle the new German jet fighters.<BR><BR>Their camp was in Walldorf, a town on the southern edge of what is now the Frankfurt Int'l. Airport (FRA). It's about a 15 minute drive from the airport parking garage.<BR><BR>I said &quot;sort of&quot; to start, because there isn't much left of the actual camp, only a few stair and foundation stones from some of the camp buildings. It is more a memorial woods, with information posts along the trail that tell their story in words and photos from Hungary to Frankfurt, and then finally most of them to their deaths as they were moved around to various camps as the war came to an end. It is located on the northern edge of Walldorf, off Nordendstrasse by a little street called something like Familie Junges Weg.<BR><BR>http://www.siteprojekte.de/kz-walldorf/<BR><BR>There's a pretty good Italian restaurant, &quot;Ciao,&quot; I think it was called, nearby on or near Aschaffenburger Strasse.
