A German prisoner of war camp is something you never forget, and Oflag 64 was a very special one. Here is a look at those grim, and not-so-grim, days a half century ago.

And I heard a voice from heaven
saying unto me.
Write, Blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord
from henceforth:
Yea, saith the Spirit,
that they may rest from their labors;
and their works do follow them.

Revelations 14: 13.
