Tour Scotland short 4K early Autumn travel video, with Scottish music, of Cultybraggan prisoner of war ( PoW ) camp on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Comrie in Highland Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Named PoW camp No 21, built in 1941 to house 4,000 Category A prisoners, Cultybraggan was a ' black camp ', holding those considered the most committed and fanatical Nazi PoWs, mainly young Waffen-SS, Fallschirmjäger and U-boat crew. Army, Navy, Air Force and SS prisoners were held in separate compounds, as were the officers. Following the war, in 1949, Cultybraggan was opened as a training camp. It was used by the Regular Army, the Territorial Army and was popular with Cadet units for their annual camps. Cultybraggan is one of the three best preserved purpose-built WWII prisoner of war camps in Britain. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
