Pte. James Hoey
British Army Black Watch
from:Gateshead, County Durham
My Dad was a prisoner of war during WW11 at Stalag 20b, Marienburg or so we thought. There are some stories that say it wasn’t in Marienburg but in Willenburg. His name was Private James Hoey, he was in The Black Watch. I wish I had asked him questions when he talked about it. Unfortunately, he died in 1999 and I am trying to research as much about him as I can. So if anyone knew my Dad or can tell me when and where he was captured or knew of anyone who served with him, I'd love to hear from you.
