Pte. Ronald George Beech
British Army Northamptonshire Regiment
from:Northampton
My uncle Ronald Beech was captured in France and eventually taken to Stalag XXB in Malbork. He was involved in the long march and said he ended up in Berlin, wearing Polish cavalry trousers and boots. He said that a member of the Red Cross found him and took him to safety. He didn't speak much about his experiences, but did say they ate a lot of potato peelings and black bread. He also said that before they were marched away the Allies were bombing the area and they had to paint POW on the roof in white paint to avoid being bombed. He returned home in 1946.
