Default Douglas Bader-Colditz

In the book Colditz, by Henry Chancellor-2001, he states that Bader,
while a POW at Colditz,kept his orderly, Alec Ross, who was about to be
repatriated, two extra years at Colditz so that Ross would remain his
orderly for the duration of Baders' imprisonment.
"he came here as my lackey and he'll stay here as my lackey".
Is there any credence to this authers claim that Bader had the clout
to keep Ross from being repatriated and if he did would he have done so?
