In September 1939, some Polish POWs were interned at Stalag II-D Stargard, Pomerania. In the spring of 1940, some French and Belgian troops captured during the Battle of France arrived, followed by Soviets from the summer of 1941 onwards. Italians were transferred to the camp in the fall of 1943, prior to the arrival, in January 1944, of Canadian prisoners taken at Dieppe in August 1942, who had first been interned at Stalag VIII-B. The camp was finally liberated by the Red Army in April 1945.
