Mary Durst placed a request in our guestbook this week, and also became a member of our forum. I am placing this information here for all to see, and also attaching a document she supplied. I will be asking Mary to stop by and tell us about herself and her father. I'm hoping we can find information to help her in her quest.
Thanks, Marion
Thank you, Marion. I am searching for any information that may allow me to find the camp where my father was liberated on April 8, 1945. The historians near Siegberg, Germany said it may have been from the Ammunition Factory in Siegburg, or in the bordering town of Troisdorf. I would greatly appreciate any input or leads or information you may be able to provide regarding any American POWs that may have been liberated from either of those locations. I’ve also attached a transcript of my father talking about his capture and the camps where he was held.
