plaque at train station


plaque at train station

Plaque is in front of train station at Podborsko. During the war, the town, which was then in Germany, was called Keifheide. This is the station that my dad, and thousands of other enlisted men, got off at, and then walked to Stalag Luft IV. As my dad tells it though, the camp commander made them run. Because they were shackled and handcuffed, some of the men didn't make it.
