Pfc John S Rodriguez
Hi, I'm the daughter of John S. Rodriguez I really don't know too much info except he was a pow in stalag 6G he was disabled missing a leg how and when during the war? He never talked about it. I was hoping the someone out there has some info for me, I tried to obtain his records only to hit another dead end according to St. Louis Mo. His records were destroyed in the 1974 fire, they did reply with a letter stating that and if I had more info they might be able to pull up his military records another way. The info I faxed them is all the info I have, I don't even know where he is buried he died 7/1984. The cemetery the services were held is not the place of final resting. I've been estranged from his family since childhood, I'm turning 49 at the end of April! I would appreciate any info or photo anyone can share with me. I just need to know some military info to satisfy my soul before I die. I'm sure many family members of ww2 vets can understand.
Jozef Ciesielski
My husband's grandfather is Jozef Ciesielski. He was captured by German forces while defending Poland on March 17, 1939. He was interred in Stallag XXA and Stallag VIG. His numbers were 2426. In May 1941 he was transferred from one to the other, but in what order I am unsure. Joe passed away in 1996 and never really talked about his experience. In doing genealogy work on my husband's family, I have been very interested in trying to keeping Joe's memory alive for being one of the survivors.
Jozef Kondratiuk
My father, Jozef Kondratiuk, was a prisoner in Stalag 6G, and escaped from it in, I think, 1942. At the outbreak of war he had been a student at Lwow University. He was called up to the Polish army as a reservist, and became a POW during the September campaign. After escaping, he made his way to Vichy France (with several adventures on the way), and stayed for some time in Annecy. When the Germans took direct control of this part of France, he evaded them again, crossing the Pyrenees into Spain. Here he was captured again and the Spanish authorities, who were neutral but sympathetic to the Nazis, put him in another camp, known as Miranda. Some time after this there was an agreement between Britain and Spain, and all Allied prisoners, including my father, were delivered into British custody. My father then spent six weeks in Gibraltar before being shipped to the UK. He joined the Polish army in Britain, and spent the rest of the war in Scotland. He remained in England after the war, settling in London. He died in 1985.
