My Dad was a pow in Stalag 8 (I think ) He was wounded with damage to his right elbow, I know 100% they wanted to amputate his arm but one German surgeon insisted they try bandaging flies over the wound, the maggots feeding on the decaying flesh. Dad kept the arm with it set at a 90degree angle with wastage but still had limited use. His POW no was 8778 . Any info, photos or direction where to start looking, just anything would be gratefully received. Many thanks.
