TNA Lookup for POW Interrogation Questionnaires

[leoni2k]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone does any lookups at the TNA that could look and obtain a copy (if one exists) for the POW Interrogation Questionnaire for my grandad.  The details are:

Series Ref: WO 344
War Office: Directorate of Military Intelligence: Liberated Prisoner of War Interrogation Questionnaires.

Name: L/Cpl Whitehead, Robert
Army No: 4452090 8th Batallion RAC

POW in Stalag 4F, Hartmannsdorf, Germany

Thanking you in advance for any help.

Best wishes

Hi Leanne,
                did you know that he was a P.O.W. in Italy in 1943.  PG 78 Sulmona was his Camp in 1943 but he would have been in other Camps previous to this.

Hi Brian

I knew that he was a prisoner of war in Italy from his Army record but I never knew which one.  He was a prisoner in Italy and Germany, according to his army record, from 28.5.1942 and returned home on 26.4.1945.  There is no mention of when he was moved from Italy to Germany.

How do you know which Italian camp he was in?

Regards
Leanne

Lianne,
a liberation repoprt may tell you his movements; if he made one.

Lianne,
            I have every list of POW that was produced. Published and unpublished so it is quite easy to check.

As the Report confirms your Grandad was never in PG 78 it is quite clear that the POW Lists in WO 392 cannot be trusted 100%.

Not the first time I have come across mistakes like this.

Thanks for looking into that one, least now I know for sure to dismiss PG 78.

Would you have any information on Stalag IVB or PG 73 or know of any websites I could look at?

Leanne,
             I have the Camp History for 1VB and will look round my hard drive for anything PG73.
