His real name was Abram Opoczynski born in Lodz Poland. While a POW he was held at Stalag 344 and at Stammlager VIIIB He was last heard of on the march from Nuremburg to Munich in April 1945 - does anyone know if there is a repatriation report for him? I am interested to know if he survived.

Pte. Richard Lehniger (alias Pte. Leonard) was killed on the night of the 13th September 1942 during an SSFR raid (Operation Aquatint) on German coastal defences in Normandy. He had previously been a part of the commando raid on Dieppe. Sgt. Abraham Opoczynski (alias Sgt. Adam Orr) was captured by German troops in the same Aquatint raid and handed over to the Gestapo. Although a POW, he was executed by the Nazis on the 12th April 1945, just one month before the end of the war. http://www.darklake-synectics.co.uk/ithilien-web/docs/lce_01.pdf
