Many theatrical performances were organised and produced by POWs in the many Camps and Working parties. POWs made the scenery, ‘props’ and costumes others learned their lines and delivered them to audiences made up of Guards and other camp staff and officials.

Here are two photo’s of a performance in Stalag VIIIB [or possibly one of its work camps.
