What happened to UK POW Camps


Recommended Posts

There is a site on the outskirts of Bridgend. Not sure, may be whence there was a breakout near the end of the war.

 

It had been a site for US D-Day troops, converted after they'd gone. I got a whisper from the tourist advice people while on holiday. Found the area, not marked. Just parked up. It was waste land where locals walked their dogs. It smelt like it, even if you avoided standing in anything.

 

Crisscrossed the site for a couple of hours before finding the one remaining hut, sealed up tight to keep it from teenage vandals.

 

Apparently some interesting grafitti, but you won't see it. And a false wall behind which they hid earth from a tunnel.

 

Feel free to google it, there is stuff to see. I've seen it and the prospect of finding it again underwhelms me.
