Friesack Camp or Camp Friesack is a name commonly used to refer to a special World War II (WWI) Prisoner Of War (POW) camp where a group of British Army POW's of Irish nationality volunteered for recruitment and selection by Abwehr II.
The camp was designated Stalag XX A (301) and located in the Friesack area, Brandenburg region.
The German authorities were conscious that the possible recruits putting themselves forward for selection may include moles, faux Irish nationalists, faux Irishmen with little connection to the island, and informers ordered by their superiors to report back on the details of the training.
