My father was captured at Dieppe, unfortunately he did not, and would not, speak of his war experience before he passed on April 6, 1992.

We have obtained his military records and can glean much information from those but sites such as yours and various books provide additional information.

I have included an image of the German POW identification information for my father and ask that his information to be added to the list of names on your website.

This German POW ID is virtually all that there is in his file related to his time as a POW, if there is any other info available from other sources I would very much like to access those records.

Thank you for doing this, please let me know if you require any additional information.
