Christoph,
You are so kind to share with me that information. And I am so excited that maybe, just maybe, you will find out more information. It is really an almost impossible mission!
I did have a little success a couple of years ago when I contacted a few people in Siegburg. I will find that info and send it to you after my trip.
I know at least one of the Comandants daughters survived the War because she contacted my Dad after the War.
I also know that when Dad escaped and was debriefed he gave the map that he made of the Cemetery to the Allies. Dad put the dog tags of each of the men with them. He had the Polish prisoners, who were good with wood, make crosses. For the first few years after the War Dad got calls from the different families of the deceased men. The USA must have put his name on their death certificates. I have been unable to find the death certificates and the Map.
On our trip to Siegburg Dad tried to figure out where the Cemetery had been. There was no marker anywhere. We walked/drive the now paved path down from what he thought was the Morgue to where he thought the Cemetery would have been. Dad reminded us that the winter of 1944/1945 was brutal and it was a long cold walk to the Cemetery.
I am so anxious to talk to Mr. Norton. Mom is not doing great. Maybe I can leave on Wednesday.
Bye for the moment,
Jean J
