    Speak Out Education Packet for Speakers and Students ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The following people have our thanks for their dedication to this project and their contributions: 1990-91 Education Committee Members James Manford, PastCommittee Chairman Zach Roberts, POW ETO & Lecturer Helen Smith, National Ex-POW Historian Col. Donald E. Miller, U.S. Army Retired LloydW: Miller, Historian David Everson, Vietnam POW Anthony Jurek, Korea POW Our thanks to National Commander Francis Agnes and PNC John Edwards for their encouragement. Earl F. Miller, Committee Chairman Renee M. Miller Hazel Ownby American Ex-Prisonersof War APRIT..1991 MISSIONSTATEMENT For the Speaker: This packet of materials was compiled to make presentation of the speaker's war time and POW story simpler. Sheets have been designed for easy reading and use as "hand outs". They can be distributed to students prior to the time of the Ex-POW session with the class. Some topics will tie in with special events, i.e., Veterans Day, Flag Day, Etc .. Information contained here may be used to augment the personal story the Ex-POW has to tell. Suggestions listed are guidelines only. The American Ex-Prisoners of War Organization believes the Ex-POW belongs to a "chapter" in American History that should not be glossed over, lost, or forgotten. Generations to come should be aware of the prison camp experience and be cognizant of the fact that such cruelties and hardships are elements of war. No more than cursory attention is given to World War II, the Korean or the Vietnam War in the present school curriculum. If mention is made of POWs it is usually statistical in nature.

Weaver) ABSTRACT This dissertation is an exploration into the lived experiences and interconnectedness of World War II prisoners of war (POWs). It is driven by the personal accounts of four men who experienced life on the wrong side of the barbed wire: my father, the late William Austin Burgess, formerly of Hinesville, Georgia; C. Neill Baylor, of Vidalia, Georgia; Herman Cranman, of Savannah, Georgia; and Robert Waldrop, of Beaufort, South Carolina. The impetus for this exploration began with the stories I received as a child when my father would share his wartime military experiences with me and continues with the learning of pre-war, wartime, and post-war experiences.

    Living through History Worksheet - Lesson Eighteen Copyright National Army Museum Te Mata Toa 1 He waka eke noa We are all in this together History isn’t something that happens to someone else. Right now, you are living through an extraordinary event that is changing the New Zealand way of life: the COVID-19 pandemic. Future students might look back on this moment and ask: how did they feel? How did they make it through? We can ask the same questions about another time when Kiwis lived through extraordinary times: New Zealanders during World War II (1939-1945). Then, like now, a major global crisis forced everyday New Zealanders to reconsider the way that they were used to living. Many men and women went overseas to risk their lives for their country. Some of them were caught by the enemy side and became prisoners of war. What happened to them next? How did the people still at home in New Zealand help them? For each of the activities below: - Read about the New Zealand experience in World War II. - Reflect on how this is similar to what you are seeing now. - Respond to the questions or instructions at the end of each activity. Share your answers with your classmates and teacher! We all have our own unique experiences, and we can all learn just as much from each other as we can from our nation’s history.

    STALAG 17B, Page 1 of 6 AMERICAN PRISONERS OF WAR IN GERMANY Prepared by MILITARY INTELLIGENCE SERVICE, WAR DEPARTMENT 15 July 1944 STALAG 17B STRENGTH: 4,500 AAF NCOs LOCATION: Pin-point: 48º27' North latitude 15º39' East longitude Camp is 100 meters North of Gneixendorf, a village 6 kilometers Northwest of Krems-on-the-Danube, which is 85 kilometers West by North of Vienna. DESCRIPTION: Camp consists of 12 compounds, 5 of them holding Americans, the others Italians, Russians, French, Serbs. Each American compound holds 4 double-barracks (100' x 240') holding 400 each. The double barracks are bisected by a washroom with 6 basins. One outdoor latrine provides toilet facilities for each compound. Each compound has a playing field. TREATMENT: Treatment by guards and administrative personnel is harsh and restrictions are oppressive. Relations between POWs and Germans are poor. Three POWs in this camp have been shot under circumstances appearing to be in violation of the Geneva Convention and others have been beaten. Treatment in this camp is worse than other German camps with the exception of Stalag 2B. FOOD: Poor in quality & quantity. In Jan. German ration was cut in half "as a consequence of the rich supply of Red Cross food." Supply of Red Cross food was exhausted 5 May when one parcel was issued to each 5 POWs instead of the usual parcel-per-man-per-week. (Red Cross reports 42,264 food parcels left Switzerland in May for Stalag 17B.) CLOTHING: Although many POWs arrive from Dulag Luft wearing wooden clogs, stocks of Red Cross clothing and footwear provide adequate clothing, particularly in view of fact increasing numbers are allowed to retain flight jackets previously confiscated as civilian clothing.

  • The Copenhagen Bureau” 21
    The Copenhagen Bureau revised 10.02.2016 In the autumn of 1916 the "British Red Cross Society and Order of St. John of Jerusalem in England" (BRC) opened a bureau in Copenhagen. Its task was very specific, to send white bread to British prisoners of war in Germany and it was referred to as the Copenhagen Bureau. The Germans had to provide food for the prisoners of war (pows) in their custody; International agreements stated that the amount of food should conform to their own soldiers’ rations. In reality, the menu for a pow consisted of black bread (kriegsbrot) and substitute coffee for breakfast, thin soup for lunch and black bread again for dinner with a little herring, cheese or sausage occasionally. The Allied blockade very quickly had an effect on the amount of food available in Germany; it became very difficult for the Germans first and foremost to provide food and calories enough for their own soldiers. Civilians had to cope as well they could and the pows were the lowest priority. Many of the pows lived in miserable conditions; put into forced labour in mines or near the frontline, with inadequate accommodation, insufficient and poor quality food and usually without medical attention. At the end of the war Germany had taken 2.5 million prisoners, approximately 185,000 of whom were British. That so many survived as well as they did was largely due to the food they were sent from home and not least the bread they got from Copenhagen. The first knowledge of a man’s capture brought great joy to their family.
