  3. Thanks 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.

  7. Does 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.
