WWII – Colditz – Britisher Freikorps remarkable sketch map drawn in pencil showing the relative positions of the countries of Europe and with a particular location marked with a double X at a spot west of the Caspian Sea. This is written on the back of a German propaganda booklet entitled ‘My Ally by Winston Churchill’ and has a remarkable provenance. The map was written for escape purposes by Captain Rupert Barry while a POW in the infamous Colditz Castle. His signature appears on the inside cover of the book together with the comment : ‘German propaganda issued in Oflag IV c [ie Colditz] Nov 1943.’ The reason why Barry retained the volume was that it was distributed to POWs at Colditz by members of the notorious Britisher Freikorps – the SS Regiment set up by Himmler which was made up exclusively of British combatants. Barry kept the book for use as evidence in potential trials of members of the Britisher Freikorps as traitors after the war – some indeed were indicted and hanged – in particular John Amery who had thought up the idea. Material of this nature concerning Colditz is now exceedingly rare. Barry himself was one of the leading POW in the castle. He it was with Pat Reid who devised a simple code system in letters which the POWs were allowed to send home which provided the British Intelligence Service with vital information. He also tried to escape in the famous tunnel escapade – in fact he was second out of the tunnel - but was recaptured. This particular volume is featured in ‘Collecting Colditz and its Secrets’ by Michael Booker where the activities of Barry are discussed.
