Thread: STALAG X1A POW CAMP

Summers76 · 02-10-2006, 11:15 PM

Seeking information on Prisoner of War Camp, STALAG X1A , Altengrabow

Was one of your family or maybe a relation sent to the above POW Camp during WW2, did they by chance record any memories of the time at the camp. My gfather spent the last two years of the war in this camp, he only mentioned it a few times, and that some days they were taken as prisoners to work at some Quarry?(place unknown). And that the conditions at the Camp were terrible.

If you can help in anyway with our research, maybe you have links to share, please do post a message, it will be greatly appreciated by the family.......sincere thank you...Summer
