Hello Graham,
When you tour Hohemark please let everyone know that during WWII, Air Vice Marshall Sir Ronald Ivelaw Chapman and Brigadier General Arthur D. Vanaman were held captive there. Chapman was there for the rest of the war. Vanaman talked the Germans into letting him go to Stalag Luft III.
Thanks,
Claudius
