Claudius Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 With Andreas' permission, I am posting other information I have. Rudolf von Schönberg 2 Kompanie of S.B. III POW # 2051 He was also at Japanese prison camp Oita (It was not unusual for the German POWs to be in more than one prison camp during their stay in Japan; 1914-1920. When the Japanese finally captured Tsingtau, the German prisoners were transferred to Japan to existing or rapidly set-up POW camps on nearly every island Prefecture of Japan (except Hokkaido). Some of these camps were small and crowded and others were large and inadequate. Over time the Japanese made improvements and moved their "guests" to better quarters. In some cases the Germans also helped with their own improvements. Their industrious extended to even building a bridge for the Japanese civilians outside the prison grounds. I understand that it was very well made and that it is still there today.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
