Re: Biggin Hill station commander G/Capt G.L.Raphael

Hi Mervyn
Don't be in too much of a hurry to dismiss the Dak as being on POW repatriation. Many camps were actually liberated by the advancing Allied armies before the official end of the war,Colditz is an example, liberated by the Americans, and I believe the British liberated some in N Germany near Denmark and the Baltic. The inmates could well have been flown home before the start of Operation Exodus.
Regards
Dick
