The Crittendon Plan (Stalag 16)

The Crittendon Plan was an idea created by Colonel Rodney Crittendon, RAF, of Stalag 16. The Plan was an effort to combat the low-morale of Pilots and Aircrews returning from missions, by planting geraniums along the runways of Airfields, in order to make them feel happy.

When submitted to RAF Command, it was considered the most balmy idea ever submitted.

When reviewing The Crittendon Plan, RAF Command mistakenly attached it to the creator of this plan, Colonel Rodney Crittendon, much to the chagrin of the POWs of Stalag 13.
