I did my research and the Stalag 3 was a library so they had access to all the books and that is why people started teaching each other many of the prisoners got their law and language and engineer degree at the Stalag. They had the exams to pass their bachelor given to them by the Red Cross. Buck classes were actually really popular and a lot of the prisoners have said that it helped them feel more normal at the camp. They also had a newspaper called Kriegie Times and the Circuit lol. They also played football and volleyball games and had tournament. I’m just imagining stories published about Bucky in the newspaper and how the next Buck classes seat are already sold out.
Thank you so much for sharing, very useful information! I knew about the library, the sports and the newspapers, but the classes part somehow escaped me until one of you guys told me. I think it’s amazing how they tried their best to improve life at the camp.
