Rob Davis TELFORD's conversations

Rob Davis TELFORD said:

Franz von Werra has always interested me; the simple yet audacious escapes, and the bravado of the man. Does the (now) car park behind the steps mark the location of the PoW Officers' building? I've been able to visit the site of the first escape a couple of times and it was a great thrill to sit on the stone wall and imagine the escape in progress.

I guess things have changed since you were there in 2006! I'm not surprised to hear that you had the place to yourselves, after our experience there. The owner's mangy ablutions were a disgrace. The actual camping area was fine, though, and if you were in a camper van you'd be better off because you'd use your own washing facilities. AVOID THIS SITE!

I've just adjusted the location - it was not quite in the correct place.

Taken 28-June-1986. RAF Catfoss was mistaken by me for RAF Carnaby. Thanks to Steve Legg for correcting the error. Ah well ... we didn't have satnav or Google Earth in 1986!

W wielkim skrócie rozwiązanie zagadki fotograficznej :

To miejsce nosi nazwę VOLAGER - przedobozie Na tych zdjęciach konkretnie sektor zachodni Stalag Luft III dla podoficerów amerykańskich.

Umieszczono tam wysokie betonowe słupy i zadaszono /plandeki/.

Całe pomieszczenie obite drewnem,przeznaczone do magazynowania węgla,opału ,materiałów budowlanych. Trochę na ten temat w umieszczonym już wcześniej przeze mnie linku w temacie : Sektory /mapka !/.


In short, the riddle photo:

This place is called VOLAGER - before camp

In this image, specifically the western sector of Stalag Luft III for U.S. non-commissioned officers.

There by high concrete pillars and roof / tilts/.

The whole room covered with wood, for coal, fuel, construction materials.

A little on this subject has already placed my link on the subject line: Industries / map in Poland version ! /.

Taken in 1966, this view is towards our bedroom on the top floor. During our stay, England won the World Cup. As the TV began showing the match (in which I had no interest whatsoever), a German holidaymaker joked to my father "Tonight, my friend, we are enemies again."

I wonder what happened to Brigitte, the Belgian girl with whom I spent a lot of time whilst staying at the Caravelle?
