The names of all Allied POWs that were in Stalag Luft VII are listed in the book "The Long Road" by Oliver Clutton-Brock. This book details when each prisoner arrived at that camp and stories of many of the POWs who were sent there. Also, my website (dedicated to my father-in-law Robert Emmett Toomey and RAF airmen) contains photos and information on more than 80 fellow prisoners. See Wartime Diary of Robert E. Toomey
