Andrzej Szczerba; Stanislaw Sobański, Władysław Świątkowski, Leon Epsztein, Ludwik Wielowieyski; Leonard Grabowski, Ludwik Rytel











Here are some pictures taken in the German POW camps Stalag IX-A at Ziegenhain and  Oflag XI A  Osterode,   holding camps before the completion of  Woldenberg Oflag II C.  My father was in a barrack comprised mainly of Polish Cavalry Officers.
In the group photo: Left to right: Back row: Harald Krusche, Andrzej Szczerba; Middle Row: Stanisław Sobański, Władysław Świątkowski, Leonek Epsztein, Ludwik Wielowieyski; Bottom Row: Leonard Grabowski, Ludwik Rytel.
In the woodcut Harald Krusche is the one reading a book. He had a good collection of technical books and several manuscripts which were all lost when the camp was uprooted and forced to move at the end of the war.
