Lt. Arthur L. Breithaupt

Canadian Army Calgary Tanks

from:Kitchener, Ontario, Canada

My father Art Breithaupt was taken prisoner at the raid at Dieppe on 19th of August 1942. He had been in charge of several tanks in the Calgary Tanks Division. He referred to his tank as Betty. He said very little to his family and friends about his imprisonment at Oflag VII B in Eichstatt, Bavaria. However, he did return to Canada in 1945 post war with a wonderful needlepoint that he had done at the camp. It is a scene of Oflag VII B.
