We had a few POW camps around this area and many of them stayed around here after the war or came back after getting shipped home. My neighbor across the street is widowed now, but her husband was one of Rommel's tank commanders.......and was one of our war time "guests" for a few years. A friend's grandfather was another guest who went home to nothing and came back.
You have to wonder why it took them so long to start looking.

Many others died for a war they probably today would condem
