Camp 020

Camp 020 at Latchmere House in south London was a British interrogation centre for captured German agents during World War II. It was run by Lieutenant Colonel Robin "Tin Eye" Stephens. Although other wartime interrogation centres were alleged to have used torture to extract confessions, Robin Stephens denied claims that torture had been used at Camp 020.

However, in 2012 Ian Cobain in Cruel Britannia revealed that documents obtained at The National Archives proved that torture methods had been used at Camp 020 to extract information from German prisoners of war and that 30 rooms there had been turned into cells with hidden microphones. There were mock executions and several inmates were brutalized by the guards. Many members of the British Union of Fascists had also been held at Latchmere House during this period. They included the environmental pioneer Jorian Jenks.

A German inmate claimed being told by a British officer that"'We are not bound by any rules or regulations. We do not care a damn whether you leave this place on a stretcher or in a hearse.'"

There was a Reserve Camp, Camp 020R, at Huntercombe which was used mainly for long term detention of prisoners.
