My now deceased stepfather was at Barth as a POW. Unfortunately I never, regrettably, got around to asking him about his all experiences. There is a oddity about one thing he did tell me, he was army (captured in N Africa) and in a Stalag Luft for RAF prisoners. He did say he was interogated at Fallingbostel (Luftwaffe). I know he made a signet ring of RAF roundels made from red/white/blue toothbrush handles. Why did he do this? I think I remember him saying that during an air-raid in Germany he'd walked across to another POW train and as his train moved off he was forced to get on the other one and those aboard gave him RAF kit. Could this possibly be true?
