Information provided by Josie Driscoll (nee Klapper).

My uncle Dennis Klapper was captured in 1940 and imprisoned in Stalag VIIIB until taking part in the Great March in 1945.  He was with the 6th Battalion of the Argyll & Southern Highlanders.  He was sent to Klausberg (ArbeitsKommando E51).  I have information and photos relating to his time in the camp.
