The blog records my research into the history of Oflag IX A/H and Oflag IX A/Z from 1942–1945.
Many individuals and organisations in the UK, Germany, Australia, New Zealand and the USA have provided invaluable help with the project and I gladly acknowledge their assistance.

Dear Mr. Hardman-Mountford,
I am working at an exhibition on the Jakob-Grimm-Schule in Rotenburg as a camp for POWs until March 29, 1945. I understand you dispose of letters sent by your father to your mother when he was in Rotenburg as a POW. It would mean a GREAT support for the exhibition project if you could provide me with copies of these letters. Any other document or photo would also be HIGHLY appreciated. In advance, many thanks for your endeavours.
