Ivan Prytulak
Polish Army
from:Ukraine
My father Ivan Prytulak was Ukrainian, but served in the Polish Army, as Western Ukraine was under Polish rule.
He was captured by the Germans, on his way to defend Warsaw, on the banks of the River Vistula, around October of 1939. After spending six weeks in a POW camp in Ostrowo, Poland, he was transported to Neubrandenburg Stalag No. 2A. His camp no was 19318.
He must have been one of the first to arrive, as he wrote, they were building barracks, so he slept in tents. I am translating my father's autobiography from Ukrainian into English.
