I would have thought so, but if it went to a regional office then it may well be destroyed (as it's now part of Poland). Hopefully there will be a...
Thanks lwd. There are clearly several ways that it could have gone. I know that my grandfather was an Assessor in Greifswald, so he may have gone...
Thanks very much for your reply. I agree. I see this as being the most lightly possibility. Appreciate your help :) Florian
Thanks lwd, I believe the reason was probably number 1. I estimate that he was sent to the Wehrmacht in December 1944, and Elbing was taken by...
Hi everyone, I just wanted to post a quick message to all of you to say thanks so much. I really appreciate how welcoming and supportive...
Wow, Coder! Thanks is amazing information. Thanks so much. I appreciate all the hard work and trouble that all have gone to. If I find any...
