Re: Displaced Persons Camp
Where in the old Germany did your grand parents and father live during the war?
Did they live in any of the eastern areas that the Soviets captured thus they may have fled from thsoe areas rather than be taken by the Red Army.
You would be best to contact the International Red Cross, they would have the records.
After the Battle magazine had an article recently about:
The International Tracing Service at Arolsen - The upheaval caused by Germany transporting hundreds of thousands of civilians from one country to another right across Europe presented a huge problem for the Allies in 1945. In January 1946 the Central Tracing Bureau was established under the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. We tell how this was set up and run, and the effect it has had on many family's since.
not sure if this is relevent to your case however.
