Re: Prisoner of War and Internment Camps - WW2
Thank you Ludford. Yes, I knew it left out some of the Canadian ones. This is a photo I took at the museum in Florence, Arizona, which had a large display of the POW Camp that was located there. I have more photo’s but I thought I would just post about POW camps in general.
Cheers and thank you
Cheers and thank you

Oops, I see you found that. It's copied verbatim from Martin Middlebrook's "Bomber Command War Diaries" (which used to be online a few years back)
Looks like this target was an all 6 Group operation.
