Stará Červená Voda (German ''Alt Rothwasser'') is a village and municipality (''obec'') in Jeseník District in the Olomouc Region of the Czech Republic. The municipality covers an area of , and has a population of 648 (as at 3 July 2006). Stará Červená Voda lies approximately north of Jeseník, north of Olomouc, and east of Prague. During the Second World War the village was the base for a working party (E433) of British and Commonwealth prisoners of war, under the administration of Stalag VIIIB/344 at Łambinowice (then known as Lamsdorf) in Poland. In January 1945, as the Soviet armies resumed their offensive and advanced into Germany, the prisoners were marched westward in the so-called Long March or Death March. Many of them died from the bitter cold and exhaustion. The lucky ones got far enough to the west to be liberated by the allied armies after some four months of travelling on foot in appalling conditions.〔http://www.lamsdorf.com〕 == References == *(Olomouc Regional Statistical Office: Municipalities of Jeseník District ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stará Červená Voda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
