Pow Wow (stylised in all caps) was a German underground newspaper, run by prisoners of war in the Stalag Luft I camp in Nazi Germany.
Its name stood for Prisoners Of War - Waiting On Winning and its motto was "The only truthful newspaper in Germany - to be read silently, quickly, and in groups of three".
When Pow Wow received the news of the Normady landings, they had to delay publication, because the prisoners' excitement would arouse suspicion.
He became editor of Pow Wow within weeks of arriving at Stalag Luft I, after being shot down and captured, when his senior officer in the camp, J. R. Byerly heard he had been a reporter for the Los Angeles Examiner.
