Abstract
In October 1939 the International Red Cross reported that some of the crew of the German submarines U27 and U29 were in British hands. On 14 November it was confirmed that eighteen German officers (eleven naval personnel and seven Luftwaffe men) and ninety-four other ranks (eight of whom were airmen) were held in camps in England. The first stage in the story of the German prisoners of war in England had begun.
