Hello List, I would like to find out where the infantry who fought on Crete were kept as prisoners of war and the conditions of the camp. Does anyone know where I could find this information on the net. Regards, Pamela.

Crete being in the Mediterranean, fell to the Germans in July 1941 which is before the Americans entered the war so it would be only British forces on the Island. These prisoners would almost certainly be taken to Germany and accomadated in the Stalags. Which Stalag a particular individual would be sent to is anybodies guess At 12:30 17/07/2006 +1000, roger baldwin wrote: >Hello List, >I would like to find out where the infantry who fought on Crete were >kept as prisoners of war and the conditions of the camp. >Does anyone know where I could find this information on the net. > >Regards, Pamela. > > >==== WORLDWAR2 Mailing List ==== >http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Military:_20th_Century/WORLDWAR2.html >This is the link to our archives.

Hi Pamela: As well as this website on POWs: http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/war/pows-introduction the New Zealand Official War Histories online have the volume on POWs by Mason (1954) & also Episodes & Studies Vol I (1948) which has chapters on POWs in Germany, Italy and Japan. While New Zealand had relatively few Japanese POWs (c500, mainly Air Force & Navy, not Army) the NZ Official War Histories had more than other Official Histories on them (see Dawes, Prisoners of the Japanese): http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-WH2Pris.html http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-WH2-1Epi.html And there is "Crete" by Dan Davin (1953): http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-WH2Cret.html Yours, John Wilson > I would like to find out where the infantry who fought on Crete were > kept as prisoners of war and the conditions of the camp. > Does anyone know where I could find this information on the net. >
