This paper discusses and reviews from the international aspect the status of Yugoslav POW in the camp in Osnabruck in Germany in the period from 1941 to 1945. In the mentioned period in POW camp in Osnabruck were approximately 6,000 active and reserve Yugoslav officers. In this POW camp on a daily basis German military authorities in various ways violated the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War from 1929. These violations represent war crimes against prisoners of war and violation of international law. This paper also shows the activities of Yugoslav POW in the camp Osnabruck in opposing these grave violations of the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War from 1929. The paper also underlines that this Convention from 1929 was a legal basis for protection of prisoners of war also in the POW camp in Osnabruck which was signed by Nazi Germany, but unfortunately was not respected by the Nazi Germany. This paper emphasizes the unreasonable bombing of the POW camp in Osnabruck on 6 December in 1944 by British aviation prison, during which was killed 116 and wounded 128 Yugoslav POW.U ovom članku je obrađen međunarodnopravni aspekt statusa jugoslovenskih ratnih zarobljenika u logoru Osnabrik u Nemačkoj za vreme Drugog svetskog rata 1941-1945. godine. Osnabrik je bio ofcirski logor jugoslovenskih ratnih zarobljenika u kome se nalazilo oko 6.000 aktivnih i rezervnih ofcira i nešto vojnika koji su služili za održavanje logora. O logoru Osnabrik u našoj literaturi je relativno dosta pisano, ali to su bili uglavnom memoarski i drugi slični radovi koji su značajni i važni, ali su veoma retki radovi koji su obrađivali međunarodno pravni aspekt. U ovom članku je izložen samo jedan deo ukazivanja na međunarodnopravni aspect kršenja Ženevske konvencije o postupanju sa ratnim zarobljenicima iz 1929. godine. Jer, nacističke nemačke vojne vlasti u zarobljeničkom ofcirskom logoru u Osnabriku su skoro svakodnevno kršile Ženevsku konvenciju o postupanju sa ratnim zarobljenicima iz 1929. godine. U ovom radu pored postojeće literature i dokumentacije korišćena je originalna dokumentacija Registar imena ofcira Oflag VI. C Osnabrik, Protokol umrlih Ofcirskog logora Oflag VI. C kao i originalni Dnevnik ratnog zarobljenika poručnika Bogomira S. Jovanovića
