Hi Guys!
Mr. Norton was so interested as I read him the Waldbrol information over the telephone. It was so exciting to get to share this piece of history with him! He was not one of the ambulatory people. Then I mailed him copies of that and the latest information on the 3 gentleman that Christoph sent me and lots of other little things.
Last night I received in an email 2 photographs taken at the Weisbrod Aircraft Museum in Colorado and next week I will share them with you. Again I need my husband to help me get them in a form so that I can include them. One is a drawing of Life in a German Prison Camp and the other appears to be the Red Cross Map that I sent earlier in my posts on this site. I have to go back and see if it is up there.
Now I see that the word Lazarett must mean Hospital in German. And the map shows Lazarett VIG North of Stalag VIG and North of Cologne. Wonder what the G was for? This map has a legend that is a little different from the map I have and also it shows Camps for Airmen, Naval and Merchant Marine Camps, and Ground Force Officers Camps. The photo does not show what was on the back of the map. It does state that this map is Based on Information received to December 31, 1944 and my map says the same thing.
And still the question lingers - where did Dad run to when he left the Camp on March 15th, 1945? No luck yet finding debriefing information.
It is so hard to stop doing WW2 things but I had better for now,
