Frontstalag
A front main camp (in military parlance Frontstalag ) was in the Third Reich a prison camp of the armed forces . The front trunk camps were mainly set up in France in the occupied zone (zone occupée) during the Second World War .
Frontstalags for the soldiers of the French colonial troops
The Nazi German Reich sent the prisoners of war of the French army in the occupied zone from sub-Saharan Africa and the Maghreb to the front stalags as quickly as possible for fear of tropical diseases and because of the Nuremberg Laws .
They were housed in the 57 Frontstalags, of which the Vesoul Frontstalag was intended especially for the colonial troops. On December 31, 1943, 10,475 soldiers from sub-Saharan Africa were still trapped there. Some of them escaped or were liberated by the French resistance groups (FFI), which they often joined.
