A POW camp is going to have some officer who speaks both languages. That's not just random chance. They looked for people who knew the language. You never knew when a prisoner would say something useful in furthering the Reich's victories. This would be doubly true when the guy is still at a Dulag or initial internment and interrogation camp. EVERYONE would know English, even people who pretended they didn't.  If they are in England, there will be tens of thousands of English Waffen SS foreign volunteers, just as there was with France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Latvia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffen-SS_foreign_volunteers_and_conscripts

Why would a POW camp be talking over the radio about the Amerika bomber? For the first thing, if the Americans didn't know it's quite possible they would overhear the conversation and get alerted. For another, what does a POW camp have to do with such a project? Even if the industrial coastline of the USA were regularly getting flattened, why would a POW camp be casually chatting with someone on a bomber? I don't know of any city or town named Jubilee in the United Kingdom. There were two types of POW camps relevant here, the Dulag or "interrogate them and then send them out" camps and the "Stalag Luft" camps. Stalag Luft camps had a number and may also be referenced by a nearby city or town name.
