doesnt matter

Oh, I am terribly sorry for failing in using some english slang. What I liked to say is that -especially in POW camps reserved for high-ranking german officers- “wires” (hidden microphones) were potentially installed all over the place. This was definitely the case in the special POW camp of Trent Park/England where from 1942-1945 plentiful of very interesting conversations between german colonels/generals have been wiretapped.

i think the leader of the camp was a colonel. the germans were treated like royalty.the canadians in bowmanville ate not good food because most of the food was send to help support the army

#15

This Forum would benefit from posts that can be understood by all who use it.
I have a fluency in Cockney & Backslang, I wouldn’t dream of using it in polite conversation.

Wouldn’t it have been better to have posted: …They Bugged their rooms! Then perhaps you wouldn’t have an “ignorant Englishman” thinking you meant torture.
