Default The diary of a German PoW in Tonbridge

http://www.tonbridgehistory.org.uk/a...war-diary.html

This is a fascinating and unique read, for me not least because Tonbridge is my home town. I've mentioned the Somerhill prison camp before... I actually lived there myself for a while:

And I've walked the long and beautiful country lane that is Horns Lodge Road (para.5) many times in summers past and know it well. A friend who was a Lancaster tailgunner during the war lived at the top of the road near to the farm, but Horns Lodge Farm was pulled down in quite recent times. Otherwise this lovely place is unchanged since wartime.
