Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, Beniaminów was occupied by Germany. In 1942, the GermanWehrmacht ran the Stalag 368 prisoner-of-war camp for Soviet POWs in the village.[1] In 1943, the Germans relocated the Stalag 333 POW camp from Komorowo to Beniaminów.[2] It housed Italian and Soviet POWs.[2] More than 30,000 POWs died from harsh treatment and malnutrition. In January 1944, it was converted into the Oflag 73 POW camp for Italian, Soviet, Romanian and Polish officers.[3] Among the Poles was General Tadeusz Bór-Komorowski.[3]
