Stalag Luft III diary auctioned.

Yes, but don’t count on it. The best we can hope for, is for it to be made available for researchers, but I’m almost sure it has been vetted already. Don’t think there are too many unturned stoned in that story.

This material is not a “diary” as such.

The example shown was taken from this prisoners “Wartime Log” which was a blank 108 page book donated by the Red Cross in which the prisoners recorded their thoughts, wrote poetry, sketched things of interest etc.

My father was a P.O.W. and I have his “Wartime Log.” Stalag Luft III was one of the camps he was in. He was not there at the time of the Great Escape but was there for the evacuatuion and the “Long March.”

I was amazed at the price this lot made and also very curious as to how Private William MacDonald was in an Officers camp, any suggestions?
