Autorenporträt
Peter Green's father, Alan Green 1 Border, was imprisoned in Oflag IX A/Z at Rotenburg an der Fulda, after being captured at the end of Operation Market Garden. Cuttings from Illustrated magazine of May 1945 describing the camp's evacuation featured in the family album kept by his mother. They always fascinated Peter as a child. After the death of his father he discovered his father's POW diary and an album of photographs of the march, and he decided to try and learn more about his life at Rotenburg and the camp's walk eastwards away from the Americans. Like his father, Peter was born in Leicestershire, although the family's roots go back to Nidderdale, in Yorkshire. Following a career in government science and technical public relations, he created and now leads an Internet-based research news service for the world's media. Peter is married and lives in Swindon, England.
