I would be very interested in learning more about such events from others who share a similar family experience.
As for myself, I was born in Germany and now live in the U.S.A.

Welcome to the site.
If memory serves me correctly, Klaus's great-grandfather was taken prisoner at Stalingrad and not repatriated until 1955. I don't think that he spopke much about it. His grandfather was captured by the British and held in the United States if I'm not mistaken. There is a thread or two about it.
