Dear All
A url ref a Glasgow Sunday Herald article about (i) the UK's little known national cemetery for WWI and WWII German internees and POWs and (ii) the poignant story of how Scottish islanders on Raasay helped WWI German POWs.

PS...Why isn't there - or have I not yet found it - a Feldgrau forum about WWII POWs?

If there is one, I cheerfully apologise.

If there isn't such a forum I know that there is much interest in that topic and would, Jason please note, argue that Feldgrau needs one. Although I'm well known for my interest in WWII and post-war Soviet POWs, I have a strong interest, also, in all aspects of WWII and of WWII and post-war POW camps, conditions, escape and evasion, Death Marches, distinguished POWs and guard units.

I would be happy to moderate such a forum for the first year or until someone else better qualified steps
forward.
