501174 Thomas George Smith Thomas George Smith, my fatherm was one of the Stalag 7a prisoners. He would have been about 40 when he was in Camp 2780 and his prisoner number was 6047. I only know that he was captured at the Battle of Crete. He managed to survive the war but died in 1952.
If anyone can find any references to him anywhere I would be most grateful to hear from you. Additional Information: | My dad, Harold Siddall, was also in Arbeitslager 2780A. He was captured on Crete too and his number was 5850 - he must have been ahead of your Dad in the processing queue! 2780A was a work camp in Pasing, which is a suburb of Munich. They were employed repairing train tracks, building drains and moving goods between trains at the station. You can read my Dad's account of his time in 2780A in chapters 8 and 9 of his memoirs which you can find here: http://www.naval-history.net/WW2MemoirAndSo00.htm
