Fake
It just seems such an odd thing to lie about. He was definitely a PoW at a camp-that much is true.
Delusional maybe?
When I read about it, it reminded me of that scene in 'The Boy In The Striped Pajamas', where the little boy goes into the camp with the other little boy.
Wonder what the Govt will do about the British Hero of the Holocaust Award they gave him , if proven to be false?
His story is almost as believeable as Al Gore inventing the internet,or Gore and "Tipper" being the basis for "Love Story"!
It is an odd thing to lie about, but that is probably his only "claim to fame." I'm sure he heard to story somewhere else and convinced himself it was him. If historians can't make it work - there's probably a problem.
I call BS - there is no way Denis Avey could pull the wool over Col. Klink's and Sgt Schultz's eyes like that!
