8.05 TImewatch: The Germans We Kept
In 1946, almost half-a-million German prisoners of war were still being held in Britain, with the ban on fraternisation lifted only in December. Interviews, archive footage and private photographs shed light on the experiences of the people of Oswaldtwistle, a Lancashire town that extended the hand of friendship to its former bitter enemy at Christmas.
