Calling all Descendants of men in Holzminden POW camp Germany

Looking for descendants of Prisoners-of-war held in Holzminden POW camp for officers in Germany from September 1917 to December 1918.

In 1918 a group of Allied Prisoners-of-War spent 9 months digging a tunnel to freedom. A movie, tentatively called "The Enemy Within" is under production to tell the story of these men and their escape.

A companion book is also being written. It is a collection of Holzminden POW profiles. If you or someone you know is a descendant of a soldier who was held at this Prison camp you are asked to contact Jacqueline Cook, author and screenwriter. Your ancestor does not need to have been involved in the escape to qualify.
