This message is clear and direct!
A poignant reminder of war and death
The prisoners clearly had faith in their Prime Minister
This sums up life in Stalag XX-A!
The patriotic Scots...complete with kilt!
Each message tells a story...and leaves many unanswered
questions. Who was Bernard Smith? What happened to the German
he knocked out? And did he actually get out on May 15th?

Messages from the Past:
In other rooms of Fort XI there are literally hundreds of messages written by POWs from Stalag XX-A. Most of them are in English and some even include references to notable figures like Winston Churchill and King George VI. Each message tells a story...a personal story from WWII.
