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).
Although any period of 10 years is a decade, a convenient and frequently referenced interval is based on the tens digit of a calendar year, as in using 1960s to represent the decade from 1960 to 1969. decade may also refer to an arbitrary span of 10 years. For example, the statement during his last decade, Mozart explored chromatic harmony to a degree rare at the time, merely refers to the last 10 years of Mozart's life without regard to which calendar years are encompassed.
