Voikovo prison camp, or Camp No. 48, was a prisoner-of-war and internee camp maintained by the Main Administration for Affairs of Prisoners of War and Internees of the NKVD in the Soviet Union. The camp was designated by the Soviet authorities for the high-ranking officers of the German Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS and was unofficially known as the "Generals camp".
Among the famous prisoners were Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus, General of the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces Yamada Otozo, a member of the Japanese imperial family Fumitaka Konoe and others. These years are reminiscent of the cemetery where prisoners of war from Germany, Italy, Austria, Romania and Japan are buried.
