WWII German POW Artist at Alva Camp

" My father, Friedrich Wilhelm Rohrlack, born 1918, was a prisoner at Camp Alva 1943-1945. He was also an artist, mostly landscapes and scenery and he was from Berlin. was a prisoner of war at ALVA from early 1943 until the war ended. He was a great artist until he died in 1995. He usually signed his artwork somewhere in old english script his initials, in lower case letters (fwr). He lived in Berlin until 1954. One other note, although I have tried this before without success, and that is to find the person in a picture of a young blond girl my father painted while at Alva. I believe it was a picture one of the prisoners had of their daughter. She was wearing a large blue dress. I have the painting and would like to pass it onto the person in the picture. If anyone can remember anything, please send me an e-mail, on the murals or the girl's picture. Thanks to you all." -- Werner Rohrlack - Email: w.r.accounting@shaw.ca   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
