| Stalag Luft 111 New here been reading about for some time now Was at a junk store and came across a green jacket that has on it .. " Former Prisoners Of War..50th ...Stalag Luft 111'' Of all the thing to give to a junk store..  These are the cowboys who gave the Germans so much trouble.. Any info on Stalag Luft 111 ? To bad the jacket is to small to fit me .. I wonder who's it was ..? Thanks David |

 | Are those the guys that built the glider? If it was, they were clever as hell.
