Veterans

my Dad was Prisoner of War on the American side of Stalag Luft III. They dug their own tunnels, but all were discovered by the Germans. My Dad does not talk very much about the experience, but he did show me his log book that he kept during his 22 month imprisonment. To this day, he will not eat barley, which is mostly what they were fed. Were it not for the Red Cross packages that they received via Switzerland, the POW's diet would have been completely horrible.
