Tom Lamb, from Bonhams, said: 'The Canadian YMCA were allowed to give scrapbooks like this one to PoWs to keep them occupied. He spent over four years in Stalag Luft III in Sagan, Poland, and played a major part in designing and painting scenery for the stage productions at the camp. Life inside: Archibald Sulston's depiction of life in one of huts at Stalag Luft IIIįl Lt Sulstan, from Boarstall, near Aylesbury, Bucks, was captured after his plane was shot down over Essen in Holland in 1941. Remarkably, the scrapbook contains some 100 photographs of the PoWs taken on a camera acquired by the men and processed in the camp.įl Lt Sulston did not take part in the Great Escape of 1944 which resulted in 50 of the recaptured 73 prisoners being executed under Hitler's orders.īut, given his excellent artistic skills, it is highly likely he helped with the production of forged papers and documents the men needed on the outside. Oberst Friedrich Wilhelm Gustav von Lindeiner stated it had been in bad taste and was a 'serious provocation' to the German guards, especially at a time when 'thousands of innocent women and children' were being killed by Allied bombing raids. A cartoon titled 'Circuit Bashers' shows men spying on layout beyond camp wire at Stalag Luft IIIĪll the works were produced at the time by Fl Lt Sulston, meaning that had the images been found by German guards they may have learnt of the escape plot.Īlso found in Fl Lt Sulston's scrapbook was a missive from the commandant of Stalag Luft III to a British general scolding him for allowing his men to break camp rules and play the British national anthem after a concert party.
