1269 Tpr. Leslie Arthur Power Canadian Army 14th (Calgary) Tank Battalion As the 60th anniversary of the Dieppe Raid approaches I am
trying to gather further info on my Uncle Les Power, who was
in the 14th Armd Tank Bn. (Calgary Tank Regt.),
wounded and captured 19 August, 1942.
Regt. No. M27002 Trp. Leslie Arthur Powers, DOB
17 May, 1918 Vancouver, BC, Canada.
POW No. 43060, Stalag IX-C, assigned Arb. Komm.
#'s 865, 1049 and 1170, exact dates and duration's
unknown. No's were garnered from mail censors
reports.
Liberated 5 May, 1945 at Winterberg (?) (marching)
believed to have been by the British, listed his
previous camp as IX-C Bad Sulza. This info is
taken from a photostat copy of his original
"Register Form For Recovered Allied Prisoners Of
War" dated 5 May, 1945.
Would anyone out in cyberspace have any further
info on the work parties listed or where
Winterberg was? All info will be greatly
appreciated.
