Collection reveals life of German PoWs
Newspaper Name:
Calgary Herald
Date of Publication:
May 3, 2013
Page(s):
B.6
Abstract:
The lives of 35,000 German prisoners of war who were shipped to Canada during the Second World War have been documented in a collection amassed over 40 years and now owned by the Royal Alberta Museum. The museum recently unveiled parts of the Robert Henderson PoW Collection, named for the Saskatchewan resident and former RCMP officer who spent decades collecting artefacts from the people who lived and worked in the camps. Henderson sold his collection to the museum this past winter. The German soldiers were sent to Canada following a British government request in 1940. There were thousands of PoWs already in Britain - and with the Germans planning an invasion of the United Kingdom, there were fears the PoWs were actually an army of occupation in waiting. The PoW camps also housed German sailors captured at ports around the world when the war started, and Canadian citizens of German and Italian descent. Two thirds of the PoWs were housed in Alberta, with the country's biggest camps in Lethbridge and Medicine Hat. Some PoWs remained in Canada until 1947. It took time to organize transportation for thousands of men back to Europe, at the same time Canadian soldiers overseas were trying to return home. The Germans arrived back to find a devastated country. Many PoWs applied from Germany to move to Canada and were eventually successful. The collection contains arts and craft pieces made by the prisoners. PoWs were encouraged to do craft work, sports or play musical instruments. Guards believed that keeping PoWs busy would prevent fights, or plans for escape in their bid to return to the country that had interned them.
