BBC News published an article last year about a friendship between a German solider and a couple from Devon has kept two families in touch for almost 80 years.
Bruno Pannhausen was captured in Normandy in 1944 and detained in a prisoner of war camp in Tiverton. After the war, he was offered hospitality by Tony Langworthy who lived nearby, and they would go on to be life-long friends. Their present-day relatives now hope the remarkable story will be kept alive and passed down to future generations.
