Topic: Stalag


  
  Stalag XVIIIA, Wolfsburg, Austria - a photo archive
Donald Philip Fetter enlisted in April of 1943 at the age of 18 and went to North Africa in October as a Private in the 168th Infantry - 34th Division.
A call to the Imperial War Museum established that Stalag numbers ran up to 20 and then there was a gap until a 300 series.
Although Douglas Arthur does not spare the reader by omitting details of the horrors he was exposed to, his sense of humour and conversational style leaven the tone of the book and make it a very enjoyable, as well as educational, read.
