Lamsdorf Remembered is a superb site, originally based around the experiences of former Irish Guardsman Arthur Evans and his book Sojourn in Silesia. The site contains many memories that have been sent in by former prisoners and relatives, and lots of useful links. You can order the book, too, which is well worth buying.

A Wartime Log
This site is dedicated to the memory of Sergeant Arthur E. Adams of No.106 Squadron, Royal Air Force. Arthur was an Air Gunner on board a Lancaster Bomber which was shot down during an operational flight on the 26th July 1942. He was then captured and interrogated - and spent the remainder of the war in various German Prisoner of War Camps inlcuding Dalag Luft, Stalag VIII-B, Stalag Luft III and Belaria. During this time, Arthur kept this Wartime Log to record his experiences as a PoW which included writing poems, letters, drawings and collecting photographs. On January 29th 1945, Arthur's camp was liberated by the Russian Army and he began the long journey home to England. Arthur went on to live a long and happy life with his wife Wynne, 2 children, 3 grand children and now 3 great grand children. He eventually died at the age of 83 in April 2004. This site was created by his family to share Arthur's experiences, thoughts and memories as a PoW.

WWII Escape and Evasion Information Exchange
This is part of the Conscript Heroes website - which also shares some of the pages - but the emphasis here is on the exchange of information about military escapers and evaders in World War II. The idea is that anyone wanting to find out about escapers, evaders or their helpers can come here and ask about a particular person. The site includes a list of more than 4,000 Allied service personnel who escaped or evaded from enemy occupied territories during the Second World War. The list is continually being updated and is compiled from various sources, partly from National Archive files, both in England and the US, but also from private research

Escape Line Research and Remembrance
After the defeat of France in June 1940 thousands of British prisoners of war were marched north, through France and Belgium, on their way to prison camps in eastern Germany. Many escaped and hid on farms in the Flemish countryside. From there they were taken to Brussels where groups of friends, who were the first roots of the famous Comete Line, tried to arrange their safe passage home. This is the story of their experiences and of the people who helped them. Particularly interesting from a Lamsdorf point of view is chapter 15, 'A Postcard from Madrid'.
