Introducing my father's account of his captivity during WW2

Sojourn in Silesia

My daughter and I retyped the book last year after Dad died, aged nearly 95. She published it, as the original publishers had lost the hard copy!

I also do a blog of Dad's letters home from his prison camp in Upper Silesia.

We (my daughter and I) are obviously very proud of Dad and are really happy that he left an account of his interment. Many war heroes were understandably unable to talk about/ relive their experiences during the war. We are grateful he was able to, even though he was in his 80's before he felt able to put pen to paper (actually he used a word processor as I recall).

So, thanks for looking. On the off chance that you do buy/download/read the book, please leave a review on Amazon.co.uk.....we would be very grateful

(I do hope I have broken any forum rules).

Thanks Kathy, I look forward to reading it. My father, who passed away recently, also only started writing his memoirs when he turned eighty. Something worth treasuring (depite my Mother's heavy hand on the editing, which I will always regret...).
