My grandfather was French and captured by the German's sometime during WWII. He was held at Stalag 6A for a number of years. He was a skilled mechanic and had worked in a foundary in France. He lied when asked what his occupation was and told the Germans he was a gardener. He did not want to be put to work at a job that would aid their war effort. He came home at the end of the war and was reunited with his family but they all said he was very thin.
