Default From the Allied Camps to the Revisionist Camp

From the Allied Camps to the Revisionist Camp

By Hans Von Der Heide


Published: 1990-07-01

I spent most of my time as P.O.W. in Great Britain (from 1944 to 1948), so I cannot say very much about American P.O.W. camps, except for a period of roughly seven weeks, most of which time I spent in a camp several kilometers outside of Cherbourg in northwest France.

This was not the first time that I had come into “close contact” with G.I.’s. On returning from the eastern front, the unit I was in at the time was posted right into the “Hauptkampflinie” (main front-line) alongside the Albert Canal, not too far from Lüttich (Liège). The “Yanks” and the 51st Highlanders (a Scottish regiment) were on the other side of the canal, and gave us a very hard time for about two weeks, literally plowing the ground with artillery shells and bombs on our side, until they threw a pontoon bridge across the canal and overran us.
