My Daddy as a POW—

This image is the cover of a book of “Kriegie cartoons” — drawings and text by prisoners in Stalag Luft Ein, where my dad was a prisoner for 15 months during World War II.

I am hoping to begin a series of posts on my Daddy’s experiences as a POW during WWII. 

Several of his grandchildren have expressed interest in learning more about this story, which he rarely talked about when he was alive. He did leave a journal about the experience of being released, and there are several books that fill in the details of what life was like for a prisoner of war in the Nazi prison camps.
