William George "Pete" Hotston
The POWs from Stalag XXA marched from Poland at the end of January and did a tour of Germany. At Zarrentin they were handed over to the German railways. My father William George (Pete) Hotston went to Hameln (Hamlin) where a POW was shot for looting. They left and carried on marching. They were liberated by two American tanks with coloured drivers from a barn in a valley. Does anyone know the name of the village?
