I'm currently researching the 1952 POW Olympics that were held in North Korea during the Korean War. Please post what you know.

Thanks in advance!

I'm going to resurrect this by asking again for any input.

Thanks in advance.

Found this one online. I read a little about it. There are a couple of website's out there about this. 

Thanks for bringing up this POW games. I think most of us didn't hear about that before.

Thank you.  I'm familiar with the sites and this publication of which I have the complete photocopy.  I am hoping that there might be even more information available. :-)

I just purchased this magazine which has some information on the games.  It might not be anything groundbreaking, but I found the entire magazine interesting:

Thank you very much!  I look forward to reading it.  Are you interested in Korean War medals?

Definitely, and I've referenced your posts often.  I have one French group I am researching but only U.S. groups for medals.  Most of the Commonwealth and other UN types are out of my budget or not identified....
