Today, after almost 60 years, less than one hundred prisoners who spent nearly 5 years in camps are still living today. This of a total of more than 3000 held in Grossborn, Arnswalde and Szubin. In spite of the difficulties encountered in maintain assistance to the individuals, their widows, their descendants and most of all to those who still today endure effects of their imprisonment, this assistance must be maintained. In particular, it is necessary to be able to obtain the total or partial awareness of those deserving assistance and to provide assistance to moral support of the prisoners and their families.
Cette « épinglette » a été créée après la naissance de l'Amicale des prisonniers de l'Oflag IIB en 1945 après leur retour de captivité.
Elle était portée à la boutonnière des vestes par ceux qui le souhaitaient et qui avaient été prisonniers de cet Oflag IIB.
