If you contact the (RCAHMS : Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland ) in Edinburgh, they have a massive collection of both RAF and Luftwaffe aerial photos of Scotland. Most of the wartime British installations and defences (including POW camps) have been identified from this source, as well as postwar ones.
