OTOH, in a POW camp, I can think of no plausible reason why a prisoner
would have any batteries what ever.

If you read the accounts of camp radios, you learn that power was not
the main problem, vacuum tubes and parts were. Batteries could be
bartered for, with corrupt guards, or camp power used, with home
built rectifier. I don't recall now how, in one Pacific account I read,
the rectification was accomplished, but that is how the radio was
powered. 
Again: how many accounts of 'Foxhole Radios' have you come across?
