Łambinowice
Lamsdorf, now called Łambinowice, is a small town in Poland, once the location of one of Germany's largest prisoner of war camps for allied servicemen. The camp originally opened during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, and was also a prisoner of war camp in the First World War. In 1939 it housed Polish prisoners, then from 1940 until it was evacuated in January 1945, it housed more then 100,000 prisoners from Britain and other Commonwealth countries, as well as from the Soviet Union, Poland and various European countries occupied by the Germans. In 1943 many prisoners from Lamsdorf were transferred to other camps, and the number was changed from VIIIB to 344.

UNIMAGINABLE
Something that was probably unimaginable to the Prisoners of War at Lamsdorf is the International Space Station. Co-operation between nations that had been enemies for centuries is surely what those brave men ultimately fought for. The ISS is symbolic of nations working peacefully together.
Here you can see the position of the Space Station, and if you click on 'ISS Position' you will see the view of Earth currently seen by the ISS crew.
