War Waffle from the home of the 51st Highland Division, Scotland and across the world.
The ‘Ballachulish Three’ - amazing.
As part of VE Day 80 at Stirling Castle (3–4 May), Susan Kemp shares the true story of the ‘Ballachulish Three’—POWs who escaped Nazi Germany in 1940, trekking 1000+ miles home using Gaelic to hide their identity. Talks at 11am & 2pm daily. Photo: trio post-escape, Glencoe backdrop.

Fascinating documents from our own @bill1940.bsky.social
While recently reading through SHAEF files related to POW camps I came across a report on what Allied troops uncovered at Buchenwald. A grim but necessary reminder of a horror that still haunts us. #HMD2025 1/3

Fascinating article researched by our own @bill1940.bsky.social. Amazing story of one the Great Escapers!
EXCLUSIVE: The Elgin man who survived the real-life Great Escape
RAF pilot Alistair Thompson McDonald was among those who broke out of Stalag Luft 3 in 1944, but the Moray man avoided the grisly fate of many of his colleagues.

Anyone able to help Bill out?
As some of you know I am writing a book about Allied POWs. I'd like to include a chapter looking at what happened when the men came home. If you had a POW in the family and would like to contribute please follow the link to this questionnaire. forms.office.com/pages/respon...

@almurray.bsky.social @thehighlandic.bsky.social Farming Yesteryear at Scone Palace is a gathering of (mostly) vintage agricultural kit with lots and lots of car clubs and militaria. I regularly chat to these folk depicting a Canadian Lumber Corps based in Scotland during 2WW.
