Hallo Constantin,

welcome here in our forum.

I think it's better to answer in English.

This is a link to the history of the German 197th Infantry Division in WW II.

Best regards

Joshi.

Hallo Konstantin,

do you know this database?
http://www.obd-memorial.ru/

Is your grandfather included in this database? In much cases for the prisoners of war were created id cards.

For example
http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/741/romansteschinvorderseit.jpg

In Orsha was the
Stalag 353 (POW Camp for lower ranked soldiers)
Dulag 127 ("Transit Camp")

The "Deutsche Dienststelle (WASt)" have 1,5 million documents about russian prisoners. But the most of this documents were transfered after the war to Russia.

I didn't find information about the hospital

Best regrads,
Alex

Thank you, Alexander!
Yes, I know this resource. In the Russian archives I found a map after liberation: It is here written, that was injured, made prisoner and directed in a hospital in town Orsha. Further, in a captivity, in the cities of Bishevsburg and Noydenburg he worked in the German company “NA 489» on repair of machines. It in East Prussia. Can you tell me about autoworkshops in these cities?
Also I found a map from Dulag 126.

Daß bedeutet: A.K.P. 502.???????????????

Priwet Konstantin,

the correct German names of the East Prussian towns were Neidenburg (today Polish: Nidzica), in the southwest of the country, and Bischofsburg (Biskupiec), in the center.

You can find an older map (1881) of East Prussia here.

Sorry, I have no information on "NA 489" and "A.K.P. 502". Maybe another one here can help you further ...
