Komorowo is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Ostrów Mazowiecka, within Ostrów Mazowiecka County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5km (03miles) north-west of Ostrów Mazowiecka and 900NaN0 north-east of Warsaw.
In 1827, Komorowo had a population of 185, which by the 1880s grew to 385.[2]
In the interbellum, barracks of the Polish 18th Light Artillery Regiment were located in Komorowo.
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany. In 1941–1943, the Germans operated the Stalag 333 prisoner-of-war camp in the pre-war barracks.[3]
