During the Second World War. many thousands of British servicemen endured the pain and privation of imprisonment in enemy hands.

David Wade has talked to some of those who were prisoners of war in Europe. From their memories, a picture emerges very different from that presented so often in films and on television. In the first of two programmes, we follow the progress of the PoWs from the moment of captivity to their arrival in the camps themselves, whose names were to become as familiar to them as those of the cities towns and villages they had left behind.
