I wonder if you could add my father to the list of POW’s interned at Stalag VIIIB.

His name was Lance Corporal Andrew Hepburn, he escaped from Lamsdorf in 1944 and managed to get to Czechoslovakia.

Please see press clipping below following his return to the UK.

If you have any information or require any more from please feel free to contact me.
