80 years ago this day, POWs in Stalag 383 were holding a #AnzacDay memorial service and sports day. Here is a copy of the programme of events. 1/3
@1940Medal has recently returned from a sojourn south of the border where he visited the fantastic @WestApproaches museum in Liverpool. Here are some photos to give you a flavour. 1/4
@WHW_HighlandIC - For those who missed it last night.
@WHW_HighlandIC - For those who missed it last night.
Some final images related to today’s #GreatEscape anniversary. Here is a verbatim transcript of Generalmajor Westhoff’s account of the high level discussion which took place around the shooting of the recaptured prisoners. 1/2
🧵@FightingOnFilm Some extracts from James Clavell’s shooting script for the #GreatEscape it’s interesting to see the many changes between it and the final film. In the original opening scenes there was a v/o from Grp Captain Ramsey the SBO 1/
Here is a short interview with Kenyon from the BBC bbc.co.uk/archive/stalag… 2/2
Ley Kenyon‘s remarkable drawings of the escape tunnel as printed in the Illustrated London News, July 1945 #GreatEscape80 1/2
The Derby Evening Telegraph reports on the murder of the 50 escapers. #GreatEscape80
The Aberdeen Press & Journal reports on a BBC radio interview with Paul Brickhill who would of course go on to write the book “The Great Escape” #GreatEscape80
On this 80th anniversary of the mass escape from Stalag Luft III, here is Bram Van Der Stok’s escape report. He was one the three “home runs“ from the escape. #GreatEscape80
I’ve been researching this story for the last two years, and my book The Great Épinal Escape comes out on May 9th, published by @TheHistoryPress
There are many great photos of these men safe in Switzerland. Here’s a few. Gurkhas, a named soldier called Beant Singh, and an unnamed Muslim.
They were helped by many many local civilians, and crossed the Swiss frontier in large numbers. By the end of June, 500 had reached safety. 500. That was the largest successful escape of the Second World War.
Over the next few weeks, scores of Sikhs, Muslims, Hindus, #Gurkhas and Indian Christians could be found in the fields and woods of NE France, heading for neutral Switzerland. This is the only known photo of them en route, on the steps of the presbytère in the village of Etobon.

I suppose this is the end of four years of research, writing, editing on this project, which is always an odd feeling. I hope I have done right by the memories of all the people I wrote about who gave so much in the war years
The programme was even professionally printed by a firm in Bayreuth. Stalag 383 was an NCO camp hence the ranks of all involved. 3/3
Interesting to note there were enough soldiers from both British and Australian forces who had served 1914-18 to have their own veterans events. Also listed the names of #ANZAC veterans in the camp. 2/3
80 years ago this day, POWs in Stalag 383 were holding a #AnzacDay memorial service and sports day. Here is a copy of the programme of events. 1/3
@militaryhistori @WeHaveWaysPod The @WHW_HighlandIC will be there in force. 😉
A fabulous day visiting “Sophie the Strutter” @STRUTTERTHEREP Thanks for the APSS volunteers for hosting us and for the photos. This was a joint visit for @GreatWarGroup and @WHW_HighlandIC @WeHaveWaysPod - is such fraternising allowed? 🤔❤️
@GordonJBarclay @HughMcsween Christ, another moon howler 😂 OK Hugh, show us the proof that Churchill said that - I’ll wait!
Not even 3 minutes in. I’m calling it. Avoid members of the @WeHaveWaysPod IC…Battle over Britain.
Final call for the April @WeHaveWaysPod IC NW Pub Meet ! We're in Clitheroe this time, Wednesday 17th April, 7pm at Bowland Beer Hall. All welcome for an evening of the friendliest waffle and excellent rations. War film debate undoubtedly incoming. Ask for info... #WeHaveWays
As well as Winston Churchill‘s film projector they also have what is believed to be his bath. A new section dedicated to the work of the WRNS is also coming along nicely. Well worth a visit. 4/4
And some more. 3/4
Some more views from inside the former secret command centre. 2/4
@1940Medal has recently returned from a sojourn south of the border where he visited the fantastic @WestApproaches museum in Liverpool. Here are some photos to give you a flavour. 1/4
These people exist and ruin everything where there is a potential to be a bit nerdy. I am a nerd about the SWW, music, etc etc but I can't stand the really completist knowledge thing. I'm much more into my obsessions being about feeling and enthusiasm than collecting dull data.
On the whole the community around the SWW is a great one. However there's always the "oh so you think you know about the war? OK name 17 field kitchen companies and their dinner menu for a Tuesday in May 1944 during op Blackcock you noob" people isn't there.
@NewForestRamble Might be. @WHW_HighlandIC might be there. 😉
@stuartroxy @WHW_HighlandIC Here’s a better look at the photo along with another display. Behind the signs is the Aberdeen Music Hall.
@MilitaryBanter I’d be impressed if a squaddie could come back from Easter leave looking like this, mind!
@AndyAitcheson Best bit right there 😉
