DeleteWorking Party 453 is los be said to be attached from IVA, did you came across this?
DeleteThanks for the reference to kommando 453. I haven't come across it, which suggests that it did not hold British or US PoWs. If you have any further information please let me know, via my email address which is on the home page.
ReplyDeleteHi My great Uncle was held as a POW I am trying to locate his war history, unfortunately I do not have any of his military credentials. All I have is a postcard photo of him in uniform with GEPRURF 37 STALAG IVA on the back. is there anyone out there that can help me please
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ali. If I can help I shall, but this is best done by email. Can you email me on petergregory999@gmail.com please with whatever you know about your great uncle - for instance nationality, which service he enlisted in, age etc. Peter
DeleteMy father DA McGregor (SA Forces - 226994) was held at Grube Lohsa (camp 1225) and I have some interesting records and photos of his time there, including some names of fellow prisoners in his barracks.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I should very much like to know more and see any interesting documents/photographs you have. Where was your father captured? Please reply via my email address: see response above. Peter
ReplyDeletewill do
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if 1135 Bad Schandau, was on the west bank of the Elbe on top of one of the two wooded hills? The town is on the East bank but that was the closest town to the camp. That is the exact description my Dad gave of the camp.
ReplyDeleteCan you please provide more detail via my email address, please? It is petergregory999@gmail.com
