6 October 1941
He thought he was going home .... but the authorities in Berlin changed their minds. He would have to wait another two years. (read more)
"A German Luftwaffe officer POW disembarking in Newhaven, England glances contemptuously at a British guard, 1941"
Facts found in our research :-
Lt. Heinz-Georg Möllenbrok (aged 20) was shot down in his Dornier 17Z-2 (U5+LL) of 3./KG2 on 16 August 1940, on his 20th mission and seriously wounded (his right hand was crushed in his attempt to bail out) during the raid on RAF Hornchurch, Essex. He was the victim of British Hurricane pilot, Frederick "Taffy" Higginson of RAF No. 56 Sq..
He is seen here disembarking from the Hospital ship 'Dinard', the guard is an Intelligence Corps Sgt. and they are at Newhaven harbour in Sussex, UK on 6 October 1941. He and other seriously wounded German POWs were being repatriated to Germany via Sweden, but at the last moment Berlin decided to halt the exchange, as they weren't happy with the disparity in the numbers of Allied troops expected to return from German POW camps, so he and the others had to return to their Camps or Hospitals.
A War Office announcement in London claimed that the ships would not sail because of a Berlin radio statement.
The Berlin radio statement referred to was:
"A British statement on the exchange of prisoners is considerably ahead of the facts. Only a partial exchange has so far been considered.
Germany has declared herself ready to exchange about 100 prisoners. These prisoners are aboard the hospital ships at Newhaven. If they are brought over, Germany is ready to return an equivalent number. Diplomatic negotiations are in progress regarding further developments."
Although the German authorities agreed to the repatriation of 1,200 British POWs in September 1941, they cancelled the exchange when it was found that only 150 suitable German prisoners were available for return. Not until 23 October 1943 was a transfer of 5,000 British, Commonwealth and American repatriates arranged.
Heinz-Georg Möllenbrok was returned to Germany in October 1943 and died in 2007 aged 87

Great big NCO versus one handed Officer..... there's only going to be one result there.
Int. Corps Sgt. looks like Luftwaffe Officers boss.

the prisoner does not seem to me the one with the flab .....the slim has little to ironize

What happened? They were on the same side in WWI!!!!

One hand or three or even extra thumbs like Supersnad he wouldnt stand a chance. There's a sense of the butchers dog about Mr Brown
