    I have a letter written to my grandfather in 1948 by a German POW .
    I tried to trace this man by contacting the German Ministry that now holds these records .
    I was told that he was still alive but that he had just moved to Kenya and they couldn't trace him .
    His name was Kurt Fleischer .
    It occurred to me that someone on this site might have some ideas .

    Is there any way you can contact family in German to get in touch with him?

    I did check the on-line Kenyan phone-book but to no avail.

    Thank you Owen . Didn't know you could do that .

    I guess that his pension should be being forwarded , but they probably couldn't disclose any details .

    I was just curious about what had happened to him and why he had remembered my grandfather .
