MY STEPFATHERS STORY REALLY STARTS WHEN HE WAS CAPTURED ON HIS WAY TO DUNKIRK. WE KNOW VERY LITTLE ,BUT WE DO KNOW THAT HE WAS MARCHED FOR WEEKS TO A CAMP IN GERMANY CALLED CAMP XXA WHICH WE KNOW TO BE A SATELITE CAMP AND LATER TO A CAMP IN OR CALLED HEYDEBRECK THIS INFORMATION WAS GOT FROM POSTCARDS , ONE SENT FROM THE CAMP TO MY FATHER IN LAWS MOTHER AND ONE SENT FROM HIS MOTHER TO THE CAMP. THEY ARE IN PRETTY POOR CONDITION SO THE INFORMATION COULD BE WRONG.WE DO NO THAT THE POSTCARD HE SENT TO HIS MOTHER WAS A PICTURE OF HIMSELF TAKEN IN THE CAMP AND HE SAID THAT THE SCALF HE WAS WEARING WAS A PROP AND PASSED ROUND TO ALL OF THE MEN HAVING THERE PHOTO TAKEN. WE ALSO KNOW THAT HE HAD A PRETTY POOR DIET AND THAT POTATO PEELINGS WERE HIGH ON THE MENU. I ASKED HIM ONCE WHY HE ATE HIS DINNER SO QUICKLEY AND HE TOLD ME THAT IF YOU DID'NT SOMEONE WOULD GET IT OFF YOUR PLATE . WE HAVE NOW FOUND A PHOTO OF HIM IN THE CAMP ON DAVID PARKERS WEB SITE IT IS THE FOURTH PHOTO DOWN WE THINK HE IS THE ONE SITTING AT THE FRONT.
