Advice re: POW Collaboration docs forwarded to Mi5

Hello Gentlemen,

I've been conducting some research into a Prisoner of War and came across a true web of intrigue - Collaboration, British Free Corps, Propaganda Broadcasting etc etc - Affidavits from numerous people which were then forwarded to Mi5. It's truly fascinating stuff with scope for lengthy research opportunities.

I found the information contained within the Liberated POW Questionnaires for a group of South African Prisoners, which are now in the public domain. After a thorough internet search, I can find no previous mention of these events having seen the light of day since the Second World War.

As these documents are now available to the public, I am OK to post them here right?

Cheers

I’d expect you are free to post them as you say you have found them “freely” available elsewhere on the internet. I would just acknowledge any “copyright” held by the source site.

Please post them. Prisoners of war are my chief interest.

I'll let everyone digest this before I move into a discussion - I have my own ideas about whats going on here........

 

This sort of information is contained in the Q Forms which are available at the National Archives

 

I haven't yet got my head round smileys.

I will withdraw my comment just in case...
