I don`t know anybody like that. Stalag VIII-B Lamsdorf was a notorious German Army prisoner of war camp, later renumbered Stalag-344, located near the small town of Lamsdorf (now called £ambinowice) in Silesia. The camp initially occupied barracks built to house British and French prisoners in World War I. At this same location there had been a prisoner camp during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalag_VIII-B |

He witnessed terrible things in the area there. Such as a Wehrmacht soldier killing local jews. So the killing of Jews, Poles, Gypsies and others was not only done by SS units, or Einsatzgruppen which were made of German police under SS control, but also elements of the regular German army (Wehmacht. It was hard for the foreign soldiers and officers to be far away from home under German Nazi custody. Cheers, Pieter |
