Many German submariners who got caught during the war, did not go prison as we know it.
They were held in Grizedale Hall, now defunct, is that the place?

Liverpool connection:

In 1903 Harold Brocklebank, a wealthy Liverpool based merchant and shipping magnate bought Grizedale estate. He was born in 1853, being the third son of Sir Thomas Brocklebank, 1st Baronet. After the old hall was pulled down, Harold Brocklebank completely rebuilt Grizedale Hall in 1905, the interior design having been completed by 1907. The architects of the new stone-built 40-room mansion in neo-gothic style were Walker, Carter & Walker of Windermere, Cumbria. Brocklebank inhabited Grizedale Hall with his wife Mary Ellen Brogden, three daughters and two sons until his death in 1936, when the hall and the 4,500 acre estate were taken up by the Forestry Commission. After serving as the first prisoner-of-war camp in the United Kingdom from 1939 to 1946 the hall stood empty. Due to its high maintenance costs the Forestry Commission auctioned off the fittings, fireplaces and staircases and demolished the hall in 1957, leaving only the single-story adjoining building with storage rooms on the east side of the hall as well as the garden terrace. Some architectural remains of the hall like the walls and stairs of the massive garden terrace and the close with its gates can still be seen today, the car-park of the Grizedale Forest visitor centre being placed on top of the internal side of the former house.

Colin Grazier's extraordinary bravery not only made WW2 considerably shorter, but also helped to save thousands of lives.
The Nazis' thought the Enigma Code was unbreakable, just as the Titanic was believed to be unsinkable 30 years before. But the Titanic sank with the help of an iceberg, and the Enigma Codes were broken with the help of Colin Grazier...
He was 22.

Is it at this memorial ?


For the price he paid, Colin Grazier was posthumously awarded the George Cross, but the incredible sacrifice he made for his country was shrouded in mystery for years. The Enigma Code was a matter of the most crucial national security, and was kept secret until 1974!
Now, he is remembered each year on the anniversary of his death in his home town of Tamworth and if you head to the Church Square, you will find a monument erected in his memory, which is the focal point of the day's celebrations.

Is it aboard the HMS Graph, (pennant number P715) was a German Type VIIC U-boat which was captured and used by the British Royal Navy during World War II. Commissioned as the U-570 in Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine in mid-1941, she was attacked and captured on her first patrol.

She provided both the Royal Navy and United States Navy with significant information on German submarines, and carried out three combat patrols with a Royal Navy crew, becoming the only U-boat to see active service with both sides during the war. She was withdrawn from service in 1944 due to problems maintaining her. While being towed to the breakers for scrapping, she ran aground on an island off the west coast of Scotland. Some of the wreck was removed as scrap but some wreckage remains there to the present day.

And here it is

Maybe Suffolk, England home town of Derek Taylor who wrote introductory notes for cover.

Someone needs to get insect repellent in here, rid us from the Beatles.

And rid that Ringo Starr house for good, what an eyesore.
I live in this dump also.
Cannot believe some of my neighbors fought to keep the house up.
Me, I favored demolition but no it stays up, what have the Beatles actually done for Liverpool?

Brought in some money from tourism thats all

I have been mixing around the clues and been to some odd pages.
I have read Genesis today and all about Calculus   Cheesy
I even learned new things, things I did not want to know Smiley trivia that might come in handy one day.

I was reading about code breakers just the other day, thats why I mentioned Bletchley Park earlier.
These are the kind of code breakers you need today, and yes the more that get together on this, it will fall into place.

As its your competition put up a link in service announcements, and see them come here maybe.
Looking at suggestions from others sometimes lights the fuse further.
