It is a little hard to see due to the photo's contrast and de-nazification but this POW is wearing Luftwaffe insignia on his cap.

Bryant,

I agree nice portraits!

Nov13 - POW Portrait - Canada - various cloth and metal badges being worn

Does anyone know where in Canada this POW Camp was?
Names would be really great.


Kind of interesting that one of them is wearing his iron cross.

Annelie,

No writing on the back except the standard Post Card made in Canada logo. I suspect it may be Camp 133 in Ottawa, Canada. Most of the portraits of POWs in Canada in my collection show the wear of their awards.

Thanks Bill, just wondered but knew most likely
there wouldn't be any info or you would have
posted it.

I bought a ship in a bottle made by August Helming
from Camp 132 many years ago. Would love to have a photo of him.

I imagine he returned to Koblenz Germany.

Annelie,

You never know maybe a photo of August Helming will turn up someday.
