Is there a possibility that the picture is wrongly titled?
A friend sent me these accounts of R.A.F. personnel being evacuated via Lubeck.

BBC - WW2 People's War - From capture to release. POW in Poland — Part2
BBC - WW2 People's War - Opperation Exodus


This of course begs the question why did my Dad have to travel across Germany to Rheine to be evacuated. So many questions!

Anyway this thread has got off topic so I will have to find another Lanc picture to get it on track!
