Camp 2228

[Jebir]

Hello

Just received a card from the Red Cross (dated 29.7.45) containing confirmation that a german Grenadier is located at;

ex camp 2228
c/o PWIB. Curzon Street House
London W. 1

- Can anyone give me any info on this location?

I have the mans name and prisoner number - is there anywhere I can find more info about him - unit etc?

Nobody?

The complete adress is;

German Prisoner of War
Gren. Werner Heider
POW.-nr. A. 566 108
ex camp 2228
c/o PWIB. Curzon Street House
London W.1

I am still trying to locate the camp itself, plus where to go to get more info on the man.

There was a POW Camp 2228 in Overijsse Belgium

Could it be this Werner Heider?

He would have been 15 in 1945 - possible but unlikely.
