Hello
I explored the site many years ago when one could just walk in and view the artwork, etc. in situ. You've done a great job to record this piece of history. |

Hello.
I'm a Canadian and have travelled in Europe and have visited some WWII sites including a concentration camp i'm glad that sites like this exist to let us know both sides of the story. i'm not a Nazi sympathiser or anything of the sort but just a person interested in History. Continue your good work! |

Hello
I am Joseph Kinzel. Eberhard Kinzel is a great uncle. He was in WW1, WW2. Research tells me that he signed a surrender May 4th, 1945.
The surrender was to
England. Maybe this helps.

| Hello, still browsing your site and find it informative and fascinating! Thanks for your efforts. My Father's cousin fell in the Hurtgen Forest 20 November 1944, when the Germans counterattacked to regain Kleinau. Very interested in history. Your site made my time worthwhile. |

Hello
I was part of the team of enthusiasts that removed the artwork from the buildings at Island Farm in the early 90s and I am now wondering if they were ever put on display as the local council said they would be doing at the time of the project. As none of our team live locally to the camp we don't get to hear the local goings on. Our team was The Eighth Wall Art Conservation Society & any information would be most welcome. Many thanks. |

Hello...My father was a POW in two camps not mentioned in your long lists of camps ~~~ I never knew there were so many!!
My father, Heinz Bodo Rudolf Hieckmann, A feldwebel in the falschirmjagers (Paras) and was captured trying to swim the Orme canal to get back to his regiment. This was about a week after D day and he started his POW life in Ranby camp before being moved to Misson POW camp. Both camps were fairly close to each other in Nottinghamshire and I hope I can pass on lots of info to you about the camps, the men and their regiments and what happened to them after the war ended.
Great to find this site and I hope my future info will be of help to you.
Hope to chat soon.
Many thank's |

| Hello - A very interesting website - what a pity that the site wasn't preserved totally in the 90's. One wonders what has happened to other camps |

Hello,
Very interesting website. I have been a life-long student of WWII history, as my dad (and everyone else's dad my age) served in it. This is a bit of history that I have not come across. Thank you. |

Hello,
I Just discovered this site.
Fascinating to see what information is available on the Net and how much of it.
I am at risk of yet another source on which to spend my already now endless hours of surfing. |

| Hello-i used to go to the camp when i was a schoolboy, we used to pretend we were prisoners and soldiers for hours on end. the best part was the drawings on the wall, in my opinion the government have destroyed a great piece of history by knocking the buildings down, my children often ask about the camp but sadly they will not be able to see it for themselves |
