I found your post quite shocking, in that you specifically mentioned my grandfather. May I ask why you referenced him in your post? I, too, am looking for any information regarding the 6950 POW Overhead Detachment.
KL, Stevin runs a fantastic website about the Allied casualties in the Netherlands. I'll send him an email and tell him to take another gander at this thread, he'll probably be able to help you a least a little.

Thanks also to Slipdigit for the great information. What a helpful collection of Rogues we have here!
