A new plaque has been unveiled in Prague to mark the heroism of an Aberdeen-born Gordon Highlander and his colleague, who helped save the city from the Nazis in 1945.
Lucy Hughes, the British deputy ambassador to the Czech Republic, led the ceremony to commemorate the actions of William Greig and Thomas Vokes during the Prague uprising which led to its liberation on May 9 1945.

William Greig became a hero in Prague during the Second World War.
It sounds like the script from a Commando comic; the young soldier who suffered captivity, escaped from the enemy, and was the hero of the hour in a desperate mission to save a city from oblivion.
Yet, as the medal which has just been donated to the Gordon Highlanders Museum illustrates, there was nothing fictional about the fashion in which Private William Greig helped rescue Prague from the Nazis and became the recipient of the Czech Military Cross for his courage while joining resistance fighters during the climactic stages of the Second World War.

Information required on location of WW2 prisoner of war working parties ( arbeits kommandos ) in Poland

Information required on location of WW2 prisoner of war working parties ( arbeits kommandos ) in Poland
23 Dec 2020 #1
Throughout WW2, a member of my family spent the duration of the war in a POW camp, Stalag VIIIB, in Åambinowice, then known as Lamsdorf.
Prisoners were typically sent out from this camp to undergo forced labour in working parties in the surrounding areas and further afield. My family member, for example, was forced to work 12 hours a day underground in a coal mine.
Often, these working parties corresponded to areas and towns within Poland. This is what I am interested in.
Last week I received copies of some German prisoner of war records for my family member. The rest are in the Russian State Archives.There is not a great deal of information in them, but some of it is in German. I was hoping somebody here may be able to translate, although the handwriting isn't very legible.
