2007 Journal

I’ve added my first entry from my 2007 journal.  In 2005 I visited Stalag Luft VI, the first POW camp that my Father was interned in.  You may be aware from this web site that he was held in three different camps for a total of 15 months.  Of course I wanted to visit all three camp areas – I needed to in order for my mission to be complete.  In 2006, the tour covered Stalag Luft IV as well as a return visit to Stalag Luft I.  In 2007 I preceded the tour to Stalag Luft IV and Stalag Luft I with a visit to the former Stalag Luft VI camp area in Silute, Lithuania. So this is where I’m at in “My Journals” – the 2007 quest to retrace my Father’s complete journey through his three regions of internment finally reaching Stalag Luft VI, formerly Heydekrug.
