"Leave in an ambulance or a hearse/POWs"

[edit]

"A German inmate claimed he was told by a British officer that "We are not bound by any rules or regulations. We do not care a damn whether you leave this place on a stretcher or in a hearse." This quote, from the Daily Mail article cited as a source, is from an inmate at the Bad Nenndorf camp, not 020. This article is about 020. Despite both camps being commanded by Stephens, the two cases were very different - Bad Nenndorf was much larger, with at one point a staff of 700. Also, the Daily Mail article is mainly about POW interrogation centres. Camp 020 was for enemy agents, not POWs, as stated in the article, and "The camp was not designed for prisoners of War (POWs) but rather for captured civilian agents (spies). The Geneva Convention relates only to POWs and so did not apply to Camp 020, nor was it listed by the Red Cross.”: https://www.mi5.gov.uk/bad-nenndorf Robocon1 (talk) 15:28, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
