About the use of Rocky... the source mentioned above, Spitfire Saga, vol. II, has it as Peter Rockland. Also Marius Eriksens book (he was in Stalag III with Bergsland), on pages 170, 174 (even shows the autograph) and 175, has it as Peter Rockland. Which makes sense, even a German sentry guard would be able to be suspicious about Rocky as an English given name. Bergsland was wearing a british officers uniform when shot down, and was known in camp as Peter Rockland. Paaln (talk) 17:51, 21 September 2010 (UTC) Paaln (talk) 17:51, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
