Swedish lawyer Henry Söderberg, as a representative of the International Y.M.C.A. during World War II, was one of seven foreigners allowed within Nazi Germany to visit prisoner of war camps. His remarkable freedom of movement within Germany enabled him to record a rare picture of the conditions of prisoners of war and of the German population. He visited the camps frequently (including Stalag Luft III whose historic memorabilia is housed in the USAF Academy Library) and went to great efforts to procure and deliver items requested by the various camps. As a result, each compound had musical instruments, a library, and sports equipment to meet the different British and American national tastes. Chaplains also received the necessary religious items to enable them to hold regular services. Söderberg formed friendships with many of the American POW's and remained in touch with them throughout the years, traveling from Sweden to the United States to attend POW reunions. After the war, Söderberg was a civil aviation official for twenty years before joining Scandinavian Airlines from which he retired as Vice President. His love of aviation and its history led to his writing the book "Swedenborg's 1714 Airplane: A Machine to Fly in the Air." He died in 1998.

Clark, Albert P., 1913-2010. Albert P. Clark collection, 1903-2008.

Title: Albert P. Clark collection, 1903-2008.

This collection contains materials accumulated by Albert P. Clark during his thirty-eight years as an officer in the Air Force and then during his thirty-four years of retirement as an active member of the Colorado Springs, Colorado community. Of particular importance to the collection are those items acquired by Clark while a prisoner of war (POW) during World War II which he was able to eventually send back to the United States. Included are photographs taken with hidden cameras during Clark's three years as a POW in both Stalag Luft III and Stammlager VIIA, handwritten diaries, memoirs from Clark and his fellow POWs ("Kriegie's"), original POW artwork, memorabilia, and a collection of camp newspapers. In addition to materials from World War II through 1970 which follow General Clark through key staff assignments and promotions, another large area of the collection includes the tenure of General Clark as Superintendent of the Air Force Academy and his long arms collection. The last portion of the collection deals with Clark's retirement activities and includes information about The Friends of the Air Force Academy Library and the Falcon Foundation and items from forty years of gatherings among former ex-prisoners of war.

Durand, Arthur, 1944-. Arthur Durand collection, 1929-1972.

Title: Arthur Durand collection, 1929-1972.

This collection contains historical documents and working papers gathered by Dr. Arthur A. Durand during his research on the history of Stalag Luft III which became his book entitled "Stalag Luft III: The Secret Story." Included in the collection are detailed reports of life in the prisoner of war camps, including punishment by the Germans, personnel matters, food and clothing issues, religious, entertainment and sports restrictions. Of significant importance to Durand's research is a complete set of editions of the camp paper "Gefangenen Gazette" which was sent by its founder and editor, Ronald Delaney, himself a POW, to his home in the United States. Delaney presented his entire camp paper collection to the Clark Special Collections area of the United States Air Force Academy McDermott Library. Other important important information includes documentation about the Red Cross and the YMCA, both of which were active in supporting the prisoners of war in the various camps.

Söderberg, Henry, 1916-1998. Söderberg collection, 1935-1997.

Title: Söderberg collection, 1935-1997.

A collection of materials pertaining to the wartime service of Henry Söderberg, a Swedish national and volunteer with the International Y.M.C.A. during World War II. Besides Söderberg's diaries, scrapbooks, and photos of various camps, Söderberg kept records of the prisoners he spoke with and noted how the Y.M.C.A. was able to assist them with their personal requests. A listing of those prisoners and their home state or country details those efforts. Other significant items include an unpublished manuscript entitled "The Sane Asylum" written by Jewish POW Alfred J. Bruch. He described camp life and personalities in Ilag VIII Z at Kreuzburg, from his arrival in 1940 until the camp was liberated in 1945. There are photos taken by Söderberg that illustrate part of that diary. There also is a series of linoleum prints from Ilag XVIII allegorically depicting the thoughts of a Jewish internee dreaming about the future state of Israel, a book of poetry from Stalag Luft VI, and copies of the publication "Ceux du 1 A" that detail camp life in Stalag 1A and are considered unique in discussion of the Russian advance.
