I am researching the two Oflags that held British POWs, Oflag IX A/H and A/Z, but have come across occasional references to Oflag IX B and Oflag IX C, can anyone point me at a good source of information regarding the German POW system for non British and American prisoners? I am particular keen to learn about other camps in District IX beyond the three British Stalags and the two Oflags. Both the two Oflags held non-British POWs early in the war or at times mixed with the British.
Thanks in advance
Oflags for non-British POWs

Deals mainly with French Colonial troops who were held in Frontstammlager.

Re: Oflags for non-British POWs
Yes that is. Thank you. Perhaps the best list of camps that I have come across is - Mattiello, G and Vogt W, 'Deutsche Kriegsgefangenen– und Internierten enrichtungen 1939–1945', Vogt, Koblenz.

That appears to be the standard reference material for this sort of thing as far as I can see.
