While held at Stalag 3d as prisoner number 12787, my late father Peter Grobler recounted a story, they were building a railway line between the aircraft factory at Grossbaren (I don't know the exact spelling) to the aerodrome in Berlin, everytime the guards were distracted all sorts of things were thrown in the construction, apparently the first train to use this line the embankment collapsed and the train was wrecked.
