PoW generosity

-

I was interested in the article about German PoW camps in Britain during the Second World War ( History Explorer, April). I thought mention would have been made of Heinrich Steinmeyer who was interred at Cultybragg­an camp in Perthshire. When he died in 2014 he left his estate, totalling £384,000, to the people of Comrie. This was in gratitude for the kindness given to him by Comrie folk and others in Scotland during his time at the camp and after his release. Margot Alexander, Edinburgh
