Hoping others on the forum can help me with something I saw in a book a couple of years ago, and I had wondered if there was any truth to it. The book was I think about what seemed to German commando raids on Britain & published only a few years ago. But the bit that intrigued me was a comment that a pow either saw some older prisoners in Home Guard uniform when he arrived at a German POW camp, or they arrived when he was there. The implication being that these men were captured during one of the german raids & taken back to occupied Europe as pows. I am aware that some of the Home Guard Auxileries, trained in explosives & evasion incase of the Invasion of Britain, were recruited by SOE etc to serve behind the lines in France later in the war.
If you search the site for 'Shingle Street', you'll see that this one rumbles on somewhat. http://ww2talk.com/index.php?search/3969096/&q=Shingle+Street&o=relevance I'm personally unconvinced, but it seems to be such a tempting story that many almost want to believe it.
Thanks for the link, it was the book on Shingle Street that I was remembering, and will read the link.
