Obviously I don't know if your relative was held in this particular camp but it would have likely been a similar camp to this.

Some interrogation reports, like some other material, may not necessarily have been declassified yet because 100 years hasn't passed yet since they were made. Some things are still secret from WW2 with the relevant files not yet having been made public.
Yes mate, I know it well, originaly bieng from that area of the world (i was born in Beverley). Eden Camp is certainly worth a visit. I was there not to long ago with some of my German mates whilst on a lads trip to York. Certainly apparent to us all that its better when Brits and Germans don't fight each other and what an entwined history we have. There where loads of POW camps in the North East though. You might be right about not declassified yet.
The old adage of "Don't mention the War" seems to be the key word here in Germanyicon, so many facts are lost or hidden. Our 2nd oldest boy is a Luftwaffe officer and i think its important for him to be aware of his family Military history, but the Bundeswehr seem to put less of an onus on studying such.
I do get further with it 1 step at a time, and the links above to Kew are probably the way to go.
