Wider Schild Story
This entry describes the wider place, and is not evidence of a direct family connection. See the research question on Rolf Schild’s story.
During the Second World War, Britain interned thousands of German and Austrian nationals, including many Jewish refugees who had themselves fled Nazi persecution, as enemy aliens. Rolf Schild was among them, interned for a time on the Isle of Man before being transferred to Manchester, where he trained to operate a capstan lathe. This entry describes the wider wartime internment policy and place, not a specific camp confirmed by name in the sources available to this archive.
