I think your best option at the moment is to have a look at the National Archives website.  Link below to the POW records.

You could then try the local records office to see what they have, if anything.

This may be more pertinent if you are looking for German PoWs in the UK: https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/prisoners-of-war-british-hands/
