[edit] Remove "Stub"

This article is, in my opinion, complete and the "Stub" definition should be removed. The "See also" section links to a complete list of German POW camps in WWII, many of which have detailed articles.

[edit] Sexploitation films

I suggest that the two sections "Nazi exploitation" and "Israeli literature" be removed, as the subject matter is totally peripheral to to the main subject. I propose to replace with one sentence in the section "In popular culture" similar to the following:

Stalags were used as the venue of American, British and Israeli "Nazi exploitation" semi-pornographic films and pocketbooks in the last decades of the 20th century.

If I do not receive any objections by August 15 I will make this change.

Aparently the Israeli books were known as "Stalags". So it makes sense to mention them here. --84.20.17.84 14:29, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In popular culture

I sympathize with the person who disapproves of trivia / popular culture sections, but without the movies and books etc. the word "Stalag" would hardly be known about today. So some latitude is needed.86.42.204.93 (talk) 09:18, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
