Camp near Siegberg Germany?

[Jean Jacobson]

Christoph,

 

I am getting out a few of the original documents with the postmarks and one of them has translated Gefangenennummer:-- with No. du prisonnier under it. My Dad has handwritten in this space 13012. Now obviously the Americans did not give him that number. I wonder how that number was generated? And how could 1 Camp know what number to use if other Camps were using numbers. Did each Camp get a block/range of numbers to use? Maybe there really were lists kept at each Camp?

 

Oh so many questions...

 

Tomorrow I will scan a couple of the seals.

 

Bye for now,

Jean J
