Stalag Luft III. Stalag Luft III (German: Stammlager Luft, or main camp for aircrew) was a Luftwaffe-run prisoner-of-war camp during World War II that housed captured air force servicemen. It was in the German province of Lower Silesia near the town of Sagan (now Å»agaÅ in Poland), 160 kilometres (100 miles) southeast of Berlin.
A century (from the Latin centum, meaning one hundred; abbreviated c.) is 100 years. Centuries are numbered ordinally in English and many other languages (e.g. the 7th century AD/CE).
In general, cohorts range from 10 to 20-plus years. The other way to think about it is in terms of historical epochs. How long is a period of history dominated by one so-called generation of people. Depending on the author or discipline, this can range from 50 to 80 years. When I think about generational epochs, I rely on the Gettysburg Address!
