A Photo for our Freinds in Canada

[12thPanzer]

There were so many aircrew POW's in Bowmanville that it was estimated that they could form complete wings from them!

There was a man here that wrote a great book on the Canadian camps and he relates that at one camp they had 75 complete HE-111 and Do-17 bomber crews from KG'S 1,2, 3, 26 and 76

WOAH!! It makes sense that the majority of POWs would probably be Luftwaffe men. But 75 bomber crews!!!!!! Thats crazy! Think of what it must have taken to feed these prisoners, especially when there own country was at war and many of its own civilians were hungry/rationing food!
