I am following this with interest and have my fingers crossed that you both get the outcome that you are looking for.
Good Luck!

Me too Carol, I'm on the edge of my seat here!!

Me too ..... it would be astonishing if this was the same couple!    I am really hoping it is, (though in reality this probably happened a lot .... but the place is right and the stories fit ...)

I am on tenterhooks!

would be amazing if it was a match

Hi again ! Thank you for the quickly answer.

Of course, I can give the name of my mother. Her first name is Gertruda germ. Getrude, the name of my grandma was Zofia (Sophie) Kaczmarek. I have also very limited information. My mom isn't sure the name of the POW, she said it sounded like Davis Roberts or Robert Davies or something like that. But she is not sure. I'm hoping it helps us...

Unfortunately my grandfather’s name was William. That would have been amazing if they had matched up! Unfortunately, as someone else said, this probably happened quite a bit during the war and it would be very hard to trace.

Hi ! What a pity !!! Hmm, life would be too beautiful if we solve so quickly our family mysteries. I registered myself scarcely yesterday to this side. The first name of this child doesn't match either ?
Gertruda is in Poland very rare name.

I want to say thank you to all who follow our correspondence. Maybe you have any idea what can I do to find my grandfather ? As I wrote already he was searching trough the British Red Cross after the war my grandma and my mother. Can anyone to help me with this ? I see, it was not only story of life by my mother. The name of my grandfather was probably David Roberts or Robert Davies. My mother said that he presumably was a soldier of the airforce. I called yesterday the Hall of the town Malbork and asked if they have there some any register of the POWs. They say that they have some lists but don't know if complete. One is sure, my grandfather was in the stalag in the middle of the year 1943, when my mother was conceived. For all tips and suggestions I will be grateful.

That is disappointing but I still think it might be worth further investigation. (Roman did say he was not sure of the name of the POW, and it may be possible that men did not reveal their real names?).

I am wondering if both Roman and Historygeek took a DNA test might it reveal something?

[cortado1]

Hi again! I do not suppose that the POW hid his real name to my grandma. He was looking after her after the war. But possible is that my grandma did not remember exactly his name. DNA testing would be a last resort. Important is if my grandfather remembered the first name of my mother. I read that the stalag was evacuated in February 1945. If my grandfather was there until the evacuation it is very possible he had the possibility to see my mother as little child and to know her name. Historygeek wrote the first name of the child is known. If my mother's name agrees with what knows Historygeek the probability would be very much... If the name does not match, the probability is very small.

But I hope one day I will be succesfully with my searching. I wish my mother is still alive then.
