On arrival they would see the gates and fences they would be kept behind for the rest of the war.\r\n\r\nCamp layouts varied but many had double gated entrances with guard towers each side, the compounds were surrounded by high double fences, some sloped in at the top making climbing over them harder and between the fences were coils of barbed wire. Evenly spaced along the outer fence were tall watch towers manned by guards with powerful searchlights and machine guns, ready to shoot anyone who tried to escape and guards, sometimes with dogs, patrolled the fence line and interior of the camp. Prisoners would be counted several times throughout the day and night to check that none had escaped." eulac3d Image IMAGE "Prisoners would arrive at the POW camp by train, truck or on foot from following their capture.
