Argh!  That Red Cross reference slid past me!   I was thinking of V-mail but the POW letters could indeed have been sent by the same process, maybe collected by the Red Cross and then turned over to the US military for microfilming and sending? Stu

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: The POW letters were very similar to V-Mail (might have been the same?), albeit coming from Germany, and probably enclosed in some of the Red Cross packages sent to the POW camps. I doubt the Germans microfilmed them before sending them to neutral countries for forwarding to the USA. Harvey
