Troop Training Area Treskau, Poznan, Poland
A box-shaped facility that dates back to before World War I and which, in connection with the rearmament in 1940, was modernized and made ready for larger troop forces. The nearby monastery was cleared of residents (there is no documentation of how this happened, however, a work camp was set up near the town of Treskau and some were transferred here as laborers). There is a larger training area intersected by the Warthe River, providing the perfect setting for final field training.
The camp as it looks in 2000 and with a view from the time in 1942 when the Danes arrived at the camp.
The train station building in Treskau or Ominsk as the town is called today.
In connection with the book “Die letzten Junker aus Treskau” the camp was visited and a number of photos of the still existing buildings were taken. At this time they were empty and no one knew what would happen to them.
