Leon Lussiez |
My grandfather, who
stayed in Stalag III A - 611, was named Leon Lussiez. His prisoner number
was apparently 33.633. He was captured in 1940, in Lille (North of France).
When my grandfather was alive (he died at 89), he told me that he had been working in Wurstermarke (surely in Kommandos), for a guy selling vegetables and in the fields, "gardening". The owner of the farm was named something like "Frout". My grandfather told me that he was liberated by Russians. A few days prior to this, bombings on Berlin began and he told us that this bombing continued night and day without stopping. It was so important that they were jumping on their beds. He returned to France by train. He had lost 28 kilos and a good part of his teeth. Written by Sylvia Beure as a tribute to her grandfather and all the soldiers who "unfortunately knew the status of War Prisoner in Germany."
