About 6 yrs ago, I met a very tall guardsman in a bar in Rosas,Spain. He told me he had been a prisoner at Fallingbostel.
On his return to Uk he joined the Police Force, London area, I think. He eventually he became a Police Car Instructor in fast car driving for Force Personel.
He was a very interesting man to sit with and listen his story of his time as a PoW at Fally.\
