Stalag VIII-B, Colditz, these names are synonymous with POWs in the
Second World War. But what of those prisoners in captivity on
British soil? Where did they go? Gloucestershire was home to a
wealth of prisoner-of-war camps and hostels, and many Italian and
German prisoners spent the war years here. Inside the Wire explores
the role of the camps, their captives and workers, together with
their impact on the local community. This book draws on Ministry of
Defence, Red Cross and US Army records, and is richly illustrated
with original images. It also features the compelling first-hand
account of Joachim Schulze, a German POW who spent the war near
Tewkesbury. This is a fascinating but forgotten aspect of the
Second World War.
