Member Since: August 2004 Posts: 12 Send Message	My granda was a POW at Brandenburg Gate. I've googled it but can't find any reference to a POW camp? Does anyone have any links where I can find out more? Thanks. Tracy

	Was this in WW1? There was a POW camp called Brandenburg Camp. There is a searchable database at:- www.forces-war-records.co.uk I'm not sure how complete or useful it is. Kath. x

	Ancestry has Brandenburg Camp records for WW2 - what was his name?
