Talk:Stalag Luft IV

I have exized the following variously POV and/or editorializing bits from the article (there may be salvageable information here):


 * Contrary to the letters written by POW’s reassuring their families that they were just fine, the report unfurled the horrors endured by our soldier’s over-seas. 


 * A letter sent by my Grandfather to his mother said “The Germans are treating us well and the food isn’t bad it seems to be improving everyday.” I interviewed my grandmother, his wife, about this. She told me that the food situation was much worse than Grandpa said. In his letters “They received one boiled potato a day.” In his written account grandpa told about how desperate the food situation was “Once I traded a pair of shoes for a dozen eggs. We had no way to cook them so I had to eat them raw. I traded a watch for two loaves of bread and after that I had no food for two days.”

'Allo 'Allo
An episode of 'Allo 'Allo ivolved the main cast going into this camp, although 'Allo 'Allo is set in France. I think they just used the words 'Stalag Luft' followed by a generic number, wich happened to be 'IV'.

Stalag Luft IV
I was told by my Aunt prisoner ounce broke out of the camp and stole a chicken from a nearby farm. They did not go any farther because he did not want to risk being killed. They probably ate the chcken raw. They Eventually escaped with others during the black march.
