Lamsdorf Reunited is a superb site, originally based around the experiences of former Irish Guardsman Arthur Evans and his book Sojourn in Silesia. The site contains many memories that have been sent in by former prisoners and relatives, and lots of useful links. You can order the book, too, which is well worth buying.

After the defeat of France in June 1940 thousands of British prisoners of war were marched north, through France and Belgium, on their way to prison camps in eastern Germany. Many escaped and hid on farms in the Flemish countryside. From there they were taken to Brussels where groups of friends, who were the first roots of the famous Comete Line, tried to arrange their safe passage home. This is the story of their experiences and of the people who helped them. Particularly interesting from a Lamsdorf point of view is chapter 15, 'A Postcard from Madrid'.
