[sebfrench76]

Hello gentlemen!
This one is no fake...
Digged in Normandie,by a friend of mine,i really would like to track its former owner..Surely a kind of "holly Graal" quest..
Stalag 17 A was settled in Austria,Kaisersteinbruch...That's all i know...
Can anybody help me?

You'd have to find the German records of prisoners- and I don't know where you'd go for that; the WASt has the German records, but whether or not they have prisoner records I couldn't say- maybe the Bundesarchiv has something, but that'd be something I suspect you'd have to do in person and even then who knows if the records even exist...

Where did you get the info from Stacez, Red Cross?

[kindzjal]

Probably from Russian sources/archives?

[Stacez]

Yep, exactly.
