Hmm, don't know where - I wonder whether it was/is some sort of military camp or training camp, it doesn't look very much like a prison camp. But I don't know where it is in Germany

I think there were several of these German camps built, four I think, for the Hitler youth in the 1930's. But no idea where they were located - Bavaria at a guess?

Camp Vogelsang in the Eifels east of Monschau?? Now converted to a visitors centre. Well worth a visit and a ride from the bottom on the boat round the reservoir. If it is, someone else can take my go as I wont have access to any pics for a while......

That's the place.

It was always fascinating to train there as the history of the place was always very evident - although the bloody amount of steps meant that you were constantly running up and down the fkers.

Bavaria was a good shout though - one of the other main Hitler Youth camps was in a place called Sonthofen. I also spent a lot of time just outside of Sonthofen when I was serving.

The boat looks a bit small for Brac, maybe out to Korcula?

Sadly missed out on a lot of that coast, we were being shelled at the time.
