Stalag I-A was a German prisoner-of-war camp during World War II, located in the village of Stabławki (then officially Stablack). It housed mainly Polish, Belgian, French and Russian prisoners of war, but also Britons and Italians.

The camp was built in late 1939 by Polish prisoners of war, who were captured during the German-Soviet invasion of Poland which started World War II. In 1940 the Poles were joined by Belgian and French prisoners following the Fall of France, and by Russians in 1941 following the Operation Barbarossa.^[1] Some British and Italian prisoners were also there.^[2] On 25 January 1945, as Russian troops approached, the camp was abandoned and all prisoners were evacuated to the west.^[1]

Kommandos of Stalag I-A

Few of the men registered at Stalag I-A were housed at the main camp, as most were assigned to Kommandos (sub-camps) spread over the entire district.^[1]
