Spent some time in the notorious camp of BUCHENWALD and was transferred from there with more than a hundred Allied airmen to other camps, ending up in Stalag Luft 3 in Sagan / Zagan, Poland. Evacuated from there on a Death March and liberated at Stalag 7A in Moosburg by American troops. See www.evasioncomete.be >>> Fiches tab.
