SB\WP to one of the 'famous' POW camps?

[Simon O.]

We see plenty of IDs to the staff of the KZ camps but have any of you got documents to guards from one of the 'famous' POW camps?

In particular i mean Colditz (Oflag-IVC) or Stalag luft III of Great Escape fame?

Finally one to add to this thread. Arrived today, was a cheap Wehrpass & Soldbuch set to a member of the Luftwaffe who served from 1941 in various signals units until late in 1943 when he was assigned to Landeschützen-Komp d. LW. 7/III based at Sagan/Belaria meaning he was stationed as a guard at Stalag Luft III and it's satellite camp at Belaria (the satellite camp at Belaria was known as Stalag Luft IV until May 1944 when that designation was given to a new camp at Gross Tychow). The Belaria camp was where the Germans housed the trouble makers from Stalag Luft III including one of the men (Wally Flood) instrumental in the tunnels used during the famed Great Escape.
When this Luftwaffe soldier was stationed in Stalag Luft III and when he was stationed in Belaria isn't shown although there is a medical note from Stalag Luft IV dated for February 1944.
As he was at the camps from December 1943 to June 1944 it means he was stationed there during The Great Escape of March 1944.

Great catch Hucks, even better that he was clearly there during the period of the Great Escape.

Maybe that's him putting Steve McQueen in the cooler again

Hucks, glad you got this Wehrpass. I would have missed the significance of it. Thanks for showing.
