Interesting story. There was a German POW camp near the town where I grew up but I never heard of any of the prisoners trying to escape from it. Quite the contrary as they liked it there, or so I was told.
My mom remembers her family taking a very long drive to a POW camp. She remembers seeing a woman who took on quite an arrogant air.
She has no idea who that might have been or where (she was living in Missouri at the time).
