P.O.W. help needed

Attached are the German records pertinent to my P.O.W. Father.

I would appreciate help translating the items on the right hand side and bottom of document 1 and the items on the left hand side of document 2. Many thanks.

I'll try to get my older Sister to look at them. She has done loads of exams about German.

Hi david,

Your POW record cards is different from the one I got. Did you get them from the Veterans Agency?

Have you got his Liberated POW Interrogation Questionnaire? that may help fill in some spaces on your POW record card.

Hello 52nd. Thanks to a post you made earlier I did contact the Veterans Agency and what you see is what I got. How about posting your copies so we can compare. Most of it is self explanatory but I have a couple of querys.

Yes I have the Liberated P.O.W. Questionnaire. It was very brief and only really confirmed the information I already had.

They hold details of POW's. I can't find the Email address at the moment, given me an hour and I should have it!
