German internees in WW2
« on: Tuesday 17 September 24 11:38 BST (UK) »
Hello,

Are there any lists of Germans who were interned during WW2 in South Africa?

In fact, the person I am interested in is believed to have died whilst in internship during the war. He was married to a South African who we believe emigrated to West Germany after the war with the children.

Thanks

If you give us his name we may be able to find if he had a death notice or left a will.

I think his name was Konrad Schönweiß (Schoenweiss). He was family of an acquaintance rather than mine...

Unfortunately no lists for internees available. I tried looking up that name in the archives but nothing appears.
