Hi Guys!
This is just a quick note. I am working on my Mom's 90th birthday party and will stay extra busy for the next week or so.
In spare moments I try to organize War papers and of course, deal with life.
I did order the maps I mentioned above and added a couple more to it. Not sure if the escape route can be determined from them, but eventually, I am confident I will find Dad's debriefing records. We shall be able to locate from those records about where he was picked up on the map and then we can guess the route he took past the Siegburg guards and over the bombed now lowered fence with barb wire at the top.
I am so fortunate that Dad told Norton and a few of the men with Norton that he was going to try and escape. Norton never met or knew Gidrie and did not know that another man went with Dad.
More to follow,
Jean J
