'Political Officer' & 'Welfare Officer' Oflag
The diary of a Senior British Officer in an Oflag includes a list of the German staff. One is a Leutnant, described in quotes as Political Officer. Another Leutnant is described as Welfare Officer, again in quotes. Can anyone throw light on what roles these men performed?
