thank you so much for posting this video. My father in law was a prisoner here and was on the point of entering the tunnel when they were discovered, thats why hes still with us. he watched this with wonder, he recognised a lot of things, although the trees were not there in his day. Its a pity the shots in the museum were not a lot closer as he was trying to see if he recognised anyone in the photos. Thanks for making an old RAF man very happy. Please post more if you have more.
That is all the video I have but I do have some more photos on this website-virtualtourist-search for Zagan. Youtube will not allow me to post the direct link. You can email the museum as I found the staff very helpful.
I am interested too about the address of the museum.

Been to see this camp (or what's left of it)If your into seeing the real thing or at least the place it happend then it's well worth the trip.

This camp is in Zagan. Zagan is in west of Poland, 60km of border on Germany. I was there, and I must say - this story is amazing!

You have the correct location, though during WW2 Zagan or Sagan was in Germany and the border with Poland was moved to the West after the war.

why does the music sound like it's from a mobile phone??? Not a good mobile either

I agree it does sound naff, but after several attempts at trying to copy the origin soundtrack I gave up and used this easier to copy version.
