He twice escaped prisoner of war camps, before handing himself in to the authorities in Cardiff.

As World War One drew to a close, a German officer masqueraded as a glamorous woman to avoid capture.

A QR code, which links to Lt Heinz' story, has been placed on the lamppost outside what was Cathays Park police station, near Cardiff Crown Court.There was a lot of press speculation at the time, and Historypoints.org editor Rhodri Clark said: "One theory was that the war reports in the Western Mail - when the Germans were close to defeat - had affected his resolve.

Newspaper reports of the time said he "expertly disguised" himself, in such a convincing way that "nobody would notice he was a man". However, on the Sunday following his weekend in London, the Western Mail described him travelling by train to Cardiff.'Quirky tale'
