German placenames
Dear all,
In his Liberation Questionnaire POW Sgt Joseph Henry Dixon gives a short account of his escape attempt: "6/4/45 Falling Bostel. Escaped from train during darkness by companions occupying guards attention until we had cut out underneath the wagon. Recaptured by Folksturm (sic) in woods, approx 10 miles East Neinberg 8/4/45." I've tried to use multimap.com but couldn't find a match for both Falling Bostel or Neinberg, assuming both place names must be located somewhere close to each other. It also appears that Falling Bostel was also the name of the POW camp, however I couldn't find any clue in all my references to POW camps. Perhaps someone of the German community of this Board can shed a light on this? Thanks in advance, Hans Nauta
