Yancy,
Sorry I didn't notice that entry....He must have been fighting mad to be captured and out of the war so to speak. Go ahead and post the documents since they are definitely related to this HG POW. Bill
Originally posted by tropenmilitaria View PostHi Bill. Happy to be able to contribute photos. One of my main interests in the hobby is DAK POWs in the US. I have included a pic showing that Mr. Peters is listed as "HG" on the front of his personnel file attachment. This was added by his British captors after his transfer. I have other documents from his time as a POW but since they aren't photos perhaps they belong in another thread.

Originally posted by divebomber View PostThanks for posting Bill.I wonder how many stayed in Canada after the war. Brian
Though it was hoped by many PoW to remain in Canada, the Canadian Legion voiced strfong objection, claiming the former enemy would be taking jobs intended for returning veterans.
After the last formal PoW was shipped out, there remained only a handful of "escapee" to be rounded up, possibly a few medical cases, one of which did remain and gain Canadian citizenship, and I heard of one who had been released to his freedom because of his very Anti-Nazi views.
Hundreds in fact emigrated back to Canada when they could, beginning in the '50's, often with the aid of former Canadian employees, and in some cased, the guards.
