Stalag XVIII D (306) (Kriegsgefangenen-Mannschafts-Stammlager or Stammlager; abbreviated Stalag) was a Nazi prisoner-of-war camp complex for the detainment of captured Western Allied and Soviet soldiers, officers, and non-commissioned officers by the German Wehrmacht. It was established on 1 June 1941, in what was then Yugoslavia (later the Republic of Slovenia), which was under German occupation at the time. Stalag XVIII D took up buildings that had previously been used for army barracks and customs warehouses for grain, in Melje, a quarter of the city of Maribor, which in German was known as Marburg an der Drau. Stalag XVIII D formally operated until the beginning of October 1942. Read more on Wikipedia
