Question for Pigeonbird
Permalink   

John I hope you can clear up a query I have. 

In my father's P.O.W. Red Cross "Wartime Log" there is a reference about an argument between  two P.O.W.'s over "Pitopoly."

Can you clarify what Pitopoly was?  My guess is that it was a variation of the Monopoly game, or that it was in association with their beds which were also known as "pits."

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers, David.

Sorry David, I haven't the foggiest idea what pilopoly is. I was not a bonefide POW of the Germans; I was an Evader in France but was made a POW by the American Army after I was liberated. Seems I looked too German to be a true Canadian, and I had no identification. But it did get me entry into the ex-POW Assn.

I escaped from the Americans after 3 days.  They're probably still looking for me.

John

Hi David
I checked with my Dad as well as Pappy Elliott and neither one of them could come up with an answer for you. Sorry
Leslie
