Grenadier Koos "Jack" Versteeg

Garderegiment Grenadiers en Jagers IIe Bataljon 3e compagnie

from:The Hague

My grandfather, Koos Versteeg joined the Royal Durch Army in 1936. He fought in the Battle in Ypenburg, The Hague and he was a POW from 1943 untill 1945. He arrived on the 29th of May 1943 in camp Amersfoort. He was taken to Altengrabow (Stalag 11A) on the 3rd of June 1943 After a month he was taken to Muhlberg and stayed in Stalag 4b and 4c.

After a while he was taken to Knippelsdorf to work on a local farm. The farmer was called Lehmann and I would like to find out more about him. During his time in Knippelsdorf he was taken to a French Lazaret in Jessen several times together with Jack Tromp. I was fortunate to talk to my grandfather about the war and he told me a lot when I was little. He kept a journal and registered all names of the people he met. So perhaps if my grandfather is in the timeline of anybody, please contact me.
