These Images were brought back from Germany by my Father who was a Prisoner of War held by the Germans between 1941 and 1945 in various POW camps. All the photos are stamped on the reverse with Stalag IV-A. (Unconfirmed)The Delegate of the Protecting Power regrets having to report the deaths of 24 British prisoners of war who, during the air-raid on Leipzig on February 27th, 1945, were killed. These POW were in well-built slip trenches with their German guards but received a direct hit and were killed immediately.
