Ian,
Yes! This is of interest to me! My great-grandfather was taken as a POW by the Germans after the sinking of the HMS Nomad. I know he was a POW in Brandenburg, but I don't know what the place was called. Is Willenshaven in Brandenburg, Germany by any chance?
And I'd love for you to explain how he was repatriated via the Hague. I don't know how my great-grandfather got out, but he did and lived a long time, as well.
