Hallo all

I was told by my Gran about a cage POW camp on Blackheath/top part of Greenwich park hill and that it contained mainly Luftwaffe aircrew.

Was this true?

I always found it ironic, that they would place Airmen in an area which gets the best views of the attacks on East/South East London. Although I guess it was equally perturbing for the Germans in case their colleagues above opened the bomb doors a few seconds too early!

If this camp existed, was it ever bombed?

Kind regards
