Cpl. Gerrit "Gerard" Krijger
Royal Dutch Navy
from:Den Helder
My father Gerrit Krijger, served in the Submarine Service of the Royal Dutch Navy and was a POW in the Camp Stalag IVa. He and many others were deported in May 1943 from Amersfoort by train to the east of Germany. I was born in 1946, and when I grew up he told me that my given names were in rememberance to his POW frends: Eddy, René and Luciël.
