I have come across a card from someone in Itzehoe to a POW still in the UK on 19 Dec 1948. The addressee is to Obersch. Emil Sommer, B193850. At that time he was an inmate of Mortimer Camp POW Camp near Reading, and must have been amongst the last of the POW we held. Was he still in detention because of his rank? Does "Obersch" mean Oberscharfuehrer? Does anyone know his family? This information is included for two reasons: Itzehoe was under our care at the time; and his family will therefore have been known to us in some capacity.

The Royal Navy Landing Ship, HMS BULWARK, arrived at Hamburg's Ueberseebruecke at 10 am on 14 March 2008. She is visiting the Hansa Stadt enroute to her home port of Devonport after taking part in Exercise Armatura Borealis 08 off Norway. She will slip for home on Monday at 10 am . HMS BULWARK is currently the Fleet Amphibious Flagship and High Readiness Assault Ship. The Commander of the Amphibious Task Group is currently Commodore Phil Jones.

This site is the latest in an extremely long line of half finished projects all aiming to achieve the same things: To detail the History of the British Army of The Rhine (BAOR). Based in Germany between the Cease Fire in May 1945 and the fall of the Berlin Wall on 3 October 1990, The British Army of the Rhine worked in partnership with its allies to secure the safety of Germany from the Soviet Hoard. It is the purpose of this site to find, capture and record, and comment on the EXPERIENCE of serving in Germany during those momentous days. To give a home to a great deal of random, but useful detail I have written, picked up or want to have handy to refer to. I hope this area is of use to the general browser; and of specific use to the A Team (you know who you are) |
