I have exized the following variously POV and/or editorializing bits from the article (there may be salvageable information here):

Contrary to the letters written by POW’s reassuring their families that they were just fine, the report unfurled the horrors endured by our soldier’s over-seas.

A letter sent by my Grandfather to his mother said “The Germans are treating us well and the food isn’t bad it seems to be improving everyday.” I interviewed my grandmother, his wife, about this. She told me that the food situation was much worse than Grandpa said. In his letters “They received one boiled potato a day.” In his written account grandpa told about how desperate the food situation was “Once I traded a pair of shoes for a dozen eggs. We had no way to cook them so I had to eat them raw. I traded a watch for two loaves of bread and after that I had no food for two days.”

[edit] 'Allo 'Allo

An episode of 'Allo 'Allo ivolved the main cast going into this camp, although 'Allo 'Allo is set in France. I think they just used the words 'Stalag Luft' followed by a generic number, wich happened to be 'IV'.
