My late father was involved in this camp in 1945-6, but I have no idea in what capacity. He was in the Reconnaissance Corps (15th Scottish) from its formation, but was not with across Europe after D-Day. He was a War Service officer, ending as a Captain, leaving in 1946.

I have a reply to my father of a letter he wrote to Lord Russell of Liverpool (Neuremburg prosecutions) in which the latter mentions "No. 5 C.I.C" which he " .. often passed on my way from H.Q., B.A.O.R. to Padeborn".

Does anyone have any pointers to records about this camp - pointers to Archives, unit records, etc.

Cheers

Niall

5 CIC was located at Staumuehle north of Sennelager in Kreis Paderborn. (The West part of Staumuehle Camp is now a Borstal type prison run by the german authorities). For the history 1945 - 48 you could look up the following at PRO Kew: War Office (WO 171/8302 and WO 171/10965. At first the camp had been under military jurisdiction (an infamous prisoner had been William Joyce - Lord Haw-Haw) however the camp quickly passed to civil (UK Home Office) jurisdiction, more records are at FO (Foreign Office) 1010/40, 1032/7921032/797, 1032/798, 1032/2228, 1050/747, 1050/748, 1050/750, 1050/752, 1050/1134, 1050/1523, 1050/1525, 1050/1526, 1051/495, 1060/4038, 1060/4040, 1060/4042, 1060/4053 and the Town Archive (Stadtarchiv) Paderborn holds a War Diary by Major Bell under ref S3/22. There is of course more - but find the bones first.

Of course on those days (pre 1946) HQ BAOR (2nd Army Defence Group) was in part still at Bad Lippspringe (moving to Bad Oeynhausen) and Paderborn was the nearest large town. The range ring road had not been built so the safe route was probably north west from Bad L on the Alte Bielefelderpoststrasse to Staumuehle and South back to Sennelager /Neuhaus [it had not had the prefix title "Schloss" yet] down to Paderborn.

Hi, I'm not a specialist in this area.

Seems what you seek is NOT digitised!  Others maybe able to help you!

I was Paddyb the original author above and had read some of those documents at PRO Kew as it was when doing separate research in 1989/92 - those refs were taken from my notes at the time - there is one typo on my part under the FO(Foreign Office) files: 1032/7921032/797 should read 1032/792, 1032/797.

For MNort:  There was discussion of the Civil Internment Camp(s) in  Parliament - the Lords in 1947
https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/lords/1947/feb/12/german-prisoners-of-war-and-internees

and  as a Police matter at  
https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/1946-05-29/debates/315e52f4-3900-462b-a44c-3ad22bdc2af3/PoliceForce(Awards)

possible that the second of these two debates will answer your query

Whilst initially the prisoners interned at Staumühle (numbers in the table attached to the 1946 document) were guarded by the units mentioned above
-  the LAA and Searchlight units were employed to illuminate the peripheries
-  Infantry and RA Units (who had handed in their guns) were preparing for demob, provided the guards  on walkways between the compounds and were based on the main HQ Building (still there -  but now houses the first German Borstal /Justiz Vollzugs Anstalt (JVA) !)
A Quick Reaction Force was based in Horrocks Barracks Neuhaus (the Schloss itself!) and could be called to answer any alarms that needed extra manpower.  (The Staumühle Strasse is recognised today as the emergency access route to the JVA - juvenile prison by the German Interior Ministry
and cannot be blocked) The RA Units were initially accommodated at Delbrück but were moved to Balaclava Barracks Schlangen on the East side of  the Range - the demonstration battery was also stationed there and supported various infantry combat training/fire power demos.)


The Civilian Guards mentioned by Steve (above) as well as the Governor (Mr Rogers named named in the Lord's Debate)) had been recruited by the Home Office and were effectively within the HM Prison system Their work started in the spring of 1946 - the army was reducing as soldiers were going home.  This had an impact on the prisoners - up until then the internal guard (mil) had fed them using military rations and what little could be obtained from local resources.  When the Home Office/Prison service took over they (as UK based assets) had to cover guard duties as well as catering for prisoners and own staff to cover - from local purchase from markets/farmers.
