Beefsteak 305 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I found this the other day and , as he crops up in a few topics on here, I thought I'd share it with you! http://www.pegasusarchive.org/pow/franz_von_werra.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firbeck 859 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Nice article matey, if you meander around the back lanes north of Ripley, you can find the prison camp buildings still intact and in use today. Interesting how no German prisoners managed to escape from the UK, perhaps as 'Von Werra' suggests, life was too comfortable for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Didn't 3 or 4 actually steal a plane before he tried it? am sure I read that somewhere, actually took off then had cheek to land at some other RAF station, maybe in Norfolk? where they tried to get it refuelled but were recaptured Quote Link to post Share on other sites
