Linda's letter triggered a memory!!! I know for a fact that the German Red Cross has access to all of these lists. They locate fallen soldiers, people that were transported, lost children, refugees and displaced person. Here is their web-address and they have an online people search form, just click on the English version. DRK-Suchdienst München DRK-Suchdienst München. Zentrale Auskunfts- und Dokumentationsstelle. Suchantrag online. German Red Cross Tracing Service. Tracing request online. Croix Rouge Allemande. Service de Recherches.
