This Web Page is dedicated to the memory of Sergeant Arthur E. Adams of No.106 Squadron, Royal Air Force. Arthur was an Air Gunner on board a Lancaster Bomber which was shot down during an operational flight on the 26th July 1942. He was then captured, interrogated at Dulag Luft in Frankfurt and spent the remainder of the Second World War in various Prisoner of War camps including Stalag VIII B, Stalag Luft III, Belaria and Stalag III A. While held prisoner, Arthur kept this Wartime Log to record his experiences as a PoW which included writing poems, letters, drawings and collecting photographs. On the 22nd April 1945, his camp Stalag III A at Luckenwalde Germany was liberated by the Soviet forces and Arthur finally began his long journey home to England. Arthur went on to live a long and happy life with his wife Wynne, 2 children, 3 grand children and now 4 great grand children. He eventually died at the age of 83 in April 2004. This site has been created by his family to share Arthur's experiences, thoughts and memories as a PoW.
