We had a POW camp in our town, which housed Italians and Germans at one time or another. They were sent out to work around the town, and one German POW was befriended by my mother's family. Not sure of the circumstances - the family were Salvationists, maybe they came into contact through that work. Whatever, for years after the war, after he was repatriated, he came over from Germany to visit and stay with my grandparents and their family, my uncles and aunts. A truly nice guy, us kids loved him.
