I once worked with Sgt Len Beckett who had been an FEPOW. When he was a prisoner it was his job to crank the generator with which their clandestine radio was powered. He received additional rations to give him the energy to do so.  

He never talked about this period of his life. The information about his activities I got from G3HJL who worked in the same lab but was even more circumspect about his wartime activities.
