Pte. Hubert Treeve Crowle
British Army Royal Hampshire Regiment
from:Southampton
My father Bert Crowle was a POW in Stalag X1A Altengrabow. He escaped and was recaptured a few times but despite searching I have been unable to find anything out about him or the camps he was in. Sadly he would not say anything about his experiences. He did jump a POW train in Italy and was looked after by an Italian family who we are in touch with but he didn't tell them much. He always said he was treated okay in the camps but after escaping and being re-captured more than once I find this hard to believe. Hard as it may be I am interested to find out anything I can about this time in his life.
