(Part I)

The "Prisoner of War" watches from Rolex

To Be Continued . . .

  1. Re: Stalag Luft 3, my highschool math/woodworking/technical drawing teacher spent part of WW2 there.

    He was a B-17 navigator, shot down in 1943 and badly injured in the event. German doctors fixed him up, mostly, and into the camps he went. His health was too poor to be considered as an escaper, but he did work on tunnel support.

    Ended the war, after a long hike in truly rotten weather, at one of the Stalags at Moosburg.

    An admirable gentleman, retired from teaching, but still with us.

    His one weakness was being too easy to derail from classwork, but his stories were almost always about various kriegies, for whom he had the greatest respect and admiration. He taught us a lot.

  2. I know nothing about these
    watches. Most of them are $300 or higher. There is only one
    at $200. What is it that I must look for to get him a watch he will
    treasure and be able to use for the next 20 years? What is it that
    makes this one $200 watch different from those at $300 or more?....
    If only everything were as simple as using
    Generic Viagra

  3. This program was NOT restricted to British POW's only as stated above. My father was a USAAF POW at Stalag Luft III from 1943-1945 and ordered a Rolex through their regular POW sales program. The bill for $150 was sent to my mother in the USA.

  5. Hi, I have a huge collection of war letters , and the same letter from Rolex regarding the purchase of a watch.They were for Lieut.H.B ROBINSON Gef.Nr925 Oflag VII B. There are at least 200 letters, and receipts for bank account which the Officer was paying into Banks In London. There are also escape maps and diagrams of the area where the camp was.
    There are 3 books with details of every letter written into the books, all the addresses of the officers and all the presents and parcels they received from the Red Cross. This is a brilliant collection connected with the same prison camp. Some of the letters have black paint censored on them. Hugh Robinson was in the Northampton Regiment and was captured in 1940. He was a stockbroker and was a director of Hogg Robinson a big company in England after the war. Hence all the buying of stocks and shares whilst in the prison camp.The famous Douglas Bader RAF was also paying him for shares whilst in the same camp. Hope this is of Interest
