Christoph,
That Roster Stalag site is great! Truly another Oh Wow!
I estimated the entries per page and let’s say there are 50 and then with 9 pages that means 450 plus the last page of 17 = 467. We know that Waldprol only had 71 of those. I saw in that 467 – Norton, and Ken, and Stang, and Rodriguez, and my Dad
BUT I did NOT see Walter Brineger, Alano Grano, or Dale McClara. Maybe I missed them but I do not think so.
I also searched to see if anything, first or last name could be a Gidrie. And had no luck with that.
I wonder how they created this Roster. Obviously it was not from 1 source, like the people who were in the Camps at the time of liberation, because how did my Dad’s name get added to the list.
So my theory on Brineger, Grano, and McClara is not verified from this list.
And while I recently saw a note I wrote from a conversation with Dad (I need to type all of these up as I locate them) there appeared to be beds for 70 men at the hospital.
So these 467 men must have come from both the Lazarett Stalag 6G in Siegburg and the other Stalag 6G.
Last week at NARA in Maryland I put in a request to see if I could find a list of the 71 men who were liberated from Waldbrol. If I ever get that, maybe that will be of some help. Theoretically quite a few of those names, if I ever get them, should be part of the 467 on this website you sent me today.
More to follow,
