These photos were taken by an unknown POW using a camera obtained by blackmailing one of the guards.
The prisoners built an ice rink on the sportsfield/Appelplatz. The skates were provided by the YMCA, who amongst other organisations, also provided musical instrumants. Unfortunately, the YMCA didn't get the recognition that they deserved for this.
(The above photos were used as part of a 2004 exhibit on THE GREAT ESCAPE by Ben van Drogenbroek in Holland)
