Text transcribed from audio recording or document
The Senior British Officer is communicating the following in writing to the Russian authorities here today.
Stalag 3A
7 May '45.
In order to avoid misunderstanding, I am putting into writing the principle statements which I made at our conference last night.
The situation of the British at this camp is now as follows. From 22nd April I, at the request of the Russian authorities, have been responsible for the administration and security of this entire camp of 16,0 mixed nationalities. The work of the camp during this time has been carried out mainly by British and American officers and men. It should, however, be appreciated that, owing to the Russian orders re. confinement to camp etc., we have to continue to all intents and purposes as prisoners. That the orders were a military necessity is of course clear, but nevertheless the result has been a lowering of the spirit of all ranks. It is in order to understand and make allowances for the mental attitude of prisoners of war who have been liberated but are still denied their freedom.
The food situation, up to yesterday, was precarious, and the daily ration, even though assisted by American supplies, is still grossly inadequate. It is realised that the Russian authorities overcame great difficulties in providing food at all under harassing circumstances, but it will also be agreed that the supply organisation of this camp performed most of the work. Furthermore, the camp has become even more overcrowded owing to the influx of Italian refugees. The problems of sanitation are considerable, and the general health is threatened.
In spite of all this, the Russian orders were obeyed and control was maintained up to 5th May. On that day, an American Officer, representing Supreme Allied Headquarters, arrived with instructions to evacuate the American and British in that order. His credentials were countersigned by the British authorities. Yesterday the American representative from Supreme Allied Headquarters arrived with a convoy to carry out his orders. Capt. Tchekanov acting as deputy for Capt. Medvedev who was sick, refused to allow him to proceed with his duties. Later when an attempt was made to proceed with the evacuation, armed force was used against American troop to prevent their leaving camp.
No doubt this whole affair is due to a misunderstanding but the situation created is extremely serious. In spite of continuing reassurances that we were to be repatriated with the least possible delay we now see the Russians actively preventing such repatriation. It is impossible for me to explain or justify such action in the eyes of the officers and men. I warned Capt. Medvedev on 4th May that such a situation was likely to arise, and that if it did I could not be responsible for the consequences.
Last night it was inferred that the obstacle to our repatriation was that the registration was not completed. I have repeatedly offered to control the whole of the registration: I could have completed it by now if my offer had been accepted. In any case I cannot believe that the Russians intend that the vital interests should be threateded [sic] for the sake of a mere formality.
As the S.B.O. here I am responsible above all else for the welfare of my officers and men. This welfare is seriously endangered by the present situation. I therefore demand that the position may be clarified without delay and that our repatriation may proceeded with immediately. Failing this I must ask to be enabled to communicate with my Government.
Finally, I must point out that the present situation renders my position as Senior [inserted]Al[/inserted]lied Officer untenable. I therefore resign my position and from now must be regarded as responsible only for the British.

Communication from senior British officer (SBO) to Russian authorities
Description
An account of the resource
States the situation of British in camp that the Russian authorities were responsible for the administration and security of he camp. Mentions responsibility for work in camp, the food situation being precarious, overcrowding due to influx of Italian refugees. Notes that an American officer representing Supreme Allied HQ arrived on 5 May but Russians refused to allow him to carry out his orders. Comments that although this situation was result of misunderstanding the Russians were preventing repatriation. Russian stated delay was due to administrative reasons but SBO had offered to conduct required registration. The SBO was responsible for welfare of officers and men and demanded that position be clarified to allow repatriation. As SBO's position as senior allied officer was untenable, he resigned his position and remain responsible only for the British.

[underlined] Doping to I.I.M. 421. [/underlined]
Process Check No 34.
Log Item No 13.
W/E 14.4.45
[underlined] Method [/underlined]
Doping is carried out in the two doping shops, the Erection Hall and to a small degree in the Flight Shed. The approved scheme is as follows:-
1 coat SOBAC red dope to D.T.D. 83A or B.S.S. 2-D-101.
6 coat SOBAC clear dope to D.T.D. 83A or B.S.S. 2-D-101.
1 coat SOBAC Alum. dope
1 coat camouflage to D.T.D. 308.
The red dope is allowed 1 hour to dry and the remainder 1/2 hour each. These specs: and drying times are being complied with.
[underlined] Inspection [/underlined]
A dope progressing card is attached to each component and there is little danger of the wrong number of coats being applied. The 1st Penetration coat is covered by an inspection stamp, the next five coats by signature and the remaining three coats by stamp.
Test pieces are submitted to M.T. Dept each week. The results of the last batch dated 12-4-45 were examined. Out of nine samples submitted, 5 were slightly underweight, the deficiencies varying from 1/4 to 1/2 oz per sq. yd. This is not considered serious, but the viewers and inspectors concerned have been contacted and asked to increase the weight slightly.
[underlined] Temperatures [/underlined]
Several visits were made to all dope shops, temp, humidity charts examined and hygrometers checked with the following satisfactory results:-
[underlined] 6-4-45 [/underlined]
[underlined] No 1 Dope Shop – dry 71° F. – Wet 63° F – Humidity 64% [/underlined]
[underlined] No 2 Dope Shop – dry 71° F. – Wet 64° F – Humidity 68% [/underlined]
[underlined] Erection Hall – dry 67° F. – Wet 59° F – Humidity 61% [/underlined]
[underlined] Flight Shed – dry 66° F. – Wet 57° F – Humidity 57% [/underlined]
[underlined] Workmanship [/underlined] Several components were examined & found satisfactory being of uniform colour, and smoothness, free from bloom and [indecipherable word]. Any repairs, made necessary by damage; are satisfactorily carried out to approved repair schemes.
Process is considered satisfactory.

Two baths are in use in the factory, a 60 galls bath in the heat treatment bay and a 15 galls bath in the process room.
Both baths are gas heated and are in a good clean condition. They are thoroughly cleaned out every week by the following process:-
1/ Baths are drained of Trichlorethylene,
2/ Residue is well [deleted] drai [/deleted] brushed out,
3/ Baths are half filled with a solution of Sodium Carbonate and water, boiled for 3 or 4 hours and drained. Occasionally a solution of Ammonium Carbonate is used.
4/ The old Trichlorethylene is reclaimed by distillation, replaced in bath and topped up with new.
A titration value check is taken three times per week by M.T. Dept. The book record was examined, the last entry being dated 7-3-45. The values were:- 60 galls bath – 1.0: 15 galls bath – 1.4:
Small quantities of Sodium Carbonate are added to the baths periodically to prevent any reaction taking place, with consequent acidity, between the Aluminium Alloys and the trichlorethylene.
Several articles were seen through the process, one of which was coils of 2” strip Dural. Some of the coils were very tightly wound and considered unsatisfactory. Mr Dimmer foreman of the dept. was informed, and agreed to see that the coils would in future be loosened to allow the vapour to penetrate. Parts are allowed to stand to regain room temperature before any further processing.
Process is considered satisfactory.

RIDDLED PLANE WON DUEL
BOMBER V. FIGHTER
Riddled by flak, with two engines out of control, and three petrol tanks leaking, a bomber was limping back from Mulheim last month when a German fighter swooped upon it.
All movable equipment, including the mid-upper turret gun and ammunition, had been jettisoned, but while the pilot struggled with the controls the rear gunner shot the attacker down into the sea.
By then the bomber had dropped to 500 feet, but the pilot, by superb airmanship, reached a coastal airfield and crash-landed.
The pilot, Flt.-Sgt. F.E. Mathers, R.A.A.F., a Sydney man, has been awarded the Conspicuous Gallantry Medal, while Sergt. W.F. [missing letters]pedic, the rear-gunner, of Kirk-[missing letters]ldy, and Sgt. G.E. French, the [missing letters]eless operator, of London, each [missing letters]eive the D.F.M.
“REGIMENT [missing word] BOMBERS”
A Halifax [missing words] in, Flt.-Lieut. D.P. P[indecipherable letters] [missing letters]rom Brighton, said, “We arr[missing letters] [missing letters]t the beginning and watched [missing word] bursts of bombs making a continuous pattern.
“There seemed to be a thundering regiment of bombers behind and around us. We could see dozens of them.
“As we turned away the place was filling up with fires, and when we were over the Zuider Zee on the way home, about 150 miles from Duisburg, [missing letter]he rear-gunner could still see the [missing word] blazing.
“I shall never forget all those coloured lights – the explosions, flares and fires. And there was those things we [missing letter]all scarecrows which Jerry seems to be sending up to frighten us. They burst with a dirty red explosion, and then red and green stars pour out. They have often burst near a bomber and done no harm.”
A Stirling pilot, Sergt. R. van Eupen, of Wellington, New Zealand, said that at the time he bombed, towards the end of the
Continued Back Page B
800645 Flight Sergeant Ernest Charles Pryor, A.A.F., No. 77 Squadron, whose home is at Tottenham, has been awarded the Distinguished Flying Medal. Born in 1920 at Islington, he was a stock keeper in civil life. He enlisted in 1939 and is now wireless operator/air gunner. During the course of a large number of operation sorties, states the citation, Flt. Sgt. Pryor has consistently displayed courage and devotion to duty of a high order, setting an admirable example to all with whom he came in contact. A wireless operator of exceptional ability, this airman’s work has, at all times, inspired the utmost confidence and has frequently been the subject of the highest praise by his captain.
STETTIN BLAZING
[inserted] 20/4/43. [indecipherable word] [/inserted]
10 HOURS AFTER
[inserted] 2 missing. [/inserted]
Bombers So Thick That Two Collided
Ten hours after Tuesday nights raids on Stettin and Rostock [missing word] pilot of a reconnaissance aircraft saw huge clouds of smoke o[missing letter]er both towns. Over Stettin a pall of smoke was 15,000 feet in height and was visible from Rostock, 80 miles away.
Many large fires were still burning in Stettin. At Rostock there were at least eight great columns of smoke.
But the raids on Stettin and Rostock were only part of a most-raided night of the war for the Germans from both West and East.
Berlin itself reveals that Tilsit, the important manufacturing and communications centre on the borders of East Prussia and Lithuania, was “heavily” raided. The Berlin correspondent of Aftonbladet says the raid was by Russian planes.
Meanwhile, this is what the R.A.F. was doing:-
BOMBERS
Halifaxes, Lancasters and Stirlings, the four-engined giants, made a “very heavy” attack on Stettin on the Baltic.
Over 150 4,000lb. bombs were dropped in about 40 minutes, as well as tens of thousands of incendiaries and hundreds of other high explosive bombs.
Stirlings alone “heavily bombed” nearby Rostock, home of the Heinkel works, which had three devastating raids in three successive nights a year ago.
A Lancaster captain said there were so many bombers flying to Stettin and Rostock that pilots had to keep a sharp lookout to avoid collisions. His machine hit the fin of a Stirling, but there was only minor damage and both carried on.
Mosquitos went to Berlin, still beflagged for Hitler’s birthday celebrations.
Other bombers laid mines in enemy waters.
From all these activities 31 bombers are missing.
FIGHTERS
Mosquitos, Typhoons, Beaufighters and Whirlwinds took part in one of the largest offensives against enemy transport ever made by Fighter Command.
They attacked trains and barges in various parts of France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, and shipping off the Belgian coast.
All our aircraft returned safely from these many sorties.
[Missing words] [missing letters]age and [missing words] circumstances [missing words] the citation [missing word]
[Missing letters]ased by Fighter
[Missing letter]ergeant J. Rank, of South [missing letters]elds, attached to No. 77 squadron, [missing letter]as captain of a bomber also [missing letter]etailed to attack Wupperthal. When [missing letter]earing the target the aircraft was hit by flak, and the damage made it difficult to control.
Then the rear gunner reported the approach of an enemy aircraft, and in most harassing circumstances Sergeant Rank was compelled to take evasive action.
Although pursued he pressed on to Wupperthal and made a successful and determined attack. Photographs showed that his bombs fell on the aiming point.
During the attack the enemy aircraft was evaded and course was set for base, where a difficult landing was made with superb skill. Sergeant Rank displayed high courage and great determination to complete his task successfully.
[Photograph]
Wing Commander A.E. Lowe, who has just been awarded the D.F.C., was a corporal in the same bomber squadron five years ago. He is the first air gunner to be given command of a squadron.

Junkers JU 87.
A two-seat dive bomber. Known as the Stuka, the JU 87 first saw action in the Spanish Civil War. Later it took a prominent part in the invasion of Poland, the French Campaign, the Battle of Britain & the invasion of Russia. The Stuka fared very badly in the Battle of Britain, the R.A.F. shooting them down with ease, & as a result their activities in Western Europe almost ceased. The Stuka, with its distinctive ‘Gull’ wings had sirens attached to the undercarriage legs which created a demoralising scream when in a dive. As a dive bomber the Stuka carried 4000lb of bombs & was armed with four machine guns. Later developments included the heavily armoured JU 87D3 & 87D4 with underwing gun packs for ground attack, & the JU 87G a specialist tank buster.

Junkers JU 86.
This aircraft first saw service as a passenger plane with South West Africa Airways. Brought into use as a medium bomber during the Spanish Civil War, it was found to be inadequately armed when faced with modern fighters. In 1939 the Ju 86 was produced as a photo-reconnaisance [sic] machine operating at a maximum height of 41,000 feet, 9000 feet better than a Spitfire could reach.

Junkers JU 52/3.
The original JU 52 was a single engined civil transport, the later three engined version being designated the JU 52/3m. Both these versions appeared as 15-17 passenger transports in 1930-1932, but from 1934-1935 the aircraft was produced as a bomber for the Luftwaffe. Later it was put into production as a military transport, in which category it served throughout the European War. It first saw action in the Spanish Civil War & was known as ‘Iron Annie’ due to its corrugated fuselage. Altogether about 3500 were built powered by three BMW radial engines with a top speed of 180 mph.
