Why I'm in Axis History forums:
- In 1938, my German grandfather was conscripted into the Wehrmacht 79 Infantry Division.
In 1944, during Operation Wellhit in German Occupied Boulogne, France he was captured a POW by Canadians.
Captive until 1948 in UK POW Camp, after he was released, he journeyed home to post-war Badden-Wurttemburg, Germany.
In 1948, my grandfather journeyed back to wife (my grandmother) and two young children (my mom and uncle) who resented his "taking charge" of family after 10 years disappeared while fighting war and POW camp.
I hope to learn from you and to also contribute whatever I can to this forum. Below is a page from one of his private POW journals.
