    I guess Rick is the best bet for this one.

    I have an EK2 doc to this guy

    Gefreiter Oskar R?sch

    Prisoner Number: 2036

    2. K III S. B. (2nd company 3rd Sea Battalion)

    Japan POW Camp: Bando

    Orginally from: Wittemberg Preussen

    Is there anything you could possibly find to go with that? About the unit, the camp etc.....

    Thanks

    Chris

    Not for an enlisted man.

    There is, Out There Somewhere a

    stunned ox, fall to the ground, drop dead miracle group to a Marine Lt dR named Fritz Zimmermann who ended up in Australia, where my South Oz pal got it from Z's daughter, but was obliged to sell it for his growing family and

    there were literally hundreds upon hundreds of photos (among many other things) and endless documents (sit down dinners, theatrical performances, voting on the Padre's sermons etc etc) FROM whichever camp HE was in. As I recall, officers and enlisted men were in the same camp, but probably sorted out by barracks. (Certainly, the officers got their 1914 Tsingtau surrendered swords back when they went home in 1920-- his still had the tag on it!) There is a once in a lifetime group, if anyone knows where it all is now.

    1914-20 was NOT 1941-45.
