I have always wondered about films of POWs showing them in their uniform but that picture of Stalag 1 after the war shows the guy still in his uniform but what about those who were in POW prisons for almost the whole war. Did their uniforms not wear out or did they keep them as Sunday Best??

I wish now I had asked my uncle who spent from Jan '42 to May '45 in Stalag Luft 3 amongst others after his 40 Squadron Wellington came down in the sea off Wilhelmshaven.
