Well it is easy to know where to begin today - it is with a BIG THANK YOU to Larry and Christoph!
Larry that was so generous of you to take the time to seek out those old articles on my Dad from his Siegburg escape and time there!
And Christoph, Thank You for all of that information!
I started combing through notes about the hospital comments I have heard:
WK never heard of Siegburg and never was there but was at Stalag 6g in Bonn. His name is on both lists of Stalag 6G Prisoners and I will refer to these 2 lists later on. He was at Stalag 6G and experienced the fire. He was in an
old converted hospital with the hallways and doors shut at the time of the fire. He went out the window. He had not been wounded.
There is another gentleman, and I can not find it in my notes, but will, probably first got taken to what Christoph referred to as the "normal" civil hospital and then immediately was taken to the Abbey.
I will sign off so I do not lose this while I try to figure out where I heard that story.
Jean J - saying plenty of THANK YOU's
