Have you read:

Paragraph 7.1

I have been researching a POW Camp and even that has been extremely difficult and so finding an individual will be quite hard.

However, you say that they got married in 1949 - almost all German POWs were returned in 1948 so if he had been a POW he would have had to return to Britain after repatriation.

There was a German Work Camp (POW Camp No 51) in Grantham)

my mother was born in 1951 and on her birth gives him as working in grantham so if was deported i guessed would ve been after her birth
