Dear lostshylea

How very interesting, particularly so in that you have details of various camps which held your uncle.

I look forwars to hearing more.

Kind regards,

Message 1 - Stalag XXA

Posted on: 24 December 2004 by dreamscorpio

My father, Lewis Edwards, was also at Stalag XXA and on the death march. I am trying to find out more information about other PoWs specifically at this camp. My father also played violin and was camp tailor but I'm unsure if this was at A or B camp.

I have some information on a site I have set up at ^{About links} I wonder if you will recognise any of the names or people in the photographs? I would be interested to hear from you and can be contacted via this site or via the Contact button on my site (to try and avoid any more spam!).
Merry Christmas and kind regards

Message 1 - prisoner of war in Poland

Posted on: 11 March 2005 by Trefnis

First a small clarification. However sad I am to tell this in 1940 there was no Poland. It was swipped of the map in 1939 when the war started and didn't appear again until 1945. The only Poland you can speak about was in London where Polish government stayed until 1989. Normally I wouldn't think such a correction is needed but unfortunately I've already heard people who assumed that the nazis where Poles just because the III Reich chose to incorporate terrains belonging to Poland.

And I've heard about those 'orchestras' in KZs. Some even think that because of them Aliants had for a long time trouble to believe what KZs were really like. After all the music was playing... It's fascinating and at the same time terrible how such a smal detail can affect lives of hundreds of people.
