Hi: I am afraid all I can tell you is that I became a POW on the 8th or 9th of May 1945 and surrendered to Americans who told us after relieving us of our personal property to go home. A little later we were taken by English soldiers and ended up for several Month in a transit camp. I do not know or...

Hi Tom: I don't think there has been a change in the governments view. Maybe as the government investigates every applicant and no charges can be laid they finally considering us as what we were, soldiers. Perhaps that's why it took 2 1/2 years.

Ironrat Great that a polish-german youth camp in Lemberg will spend 2 weeks cleaning the graves of Lemberg POW and post war victims. It shows that beside the Nutters which are claiming compensation, there are those with common sense and good will remembering the many innocent victims. Why so down on...

Hi, I find it hard to visualize 16 year old kanoniers on a 128mm. We had to spell loading our 88mm as it was really hard work.
