Guys, In John Dominy's (alias Ron Mogg) book "The Sergeant Escapers" he refers to a situation on transport between Stalag IXc (Bad Sulza) and Sagan in April 1942:- After the train departed, an alert guard spotted two prisoners jumping from the train as it slowed down on a hill. The train came to a quick halt and the guards opened fire on the fleeing prisoners who quickly surrendered. One of the German Guards chased after the now prostrate prisoners, still firing his gun. The prisoners witnessed the defenseless men being clubbed with rifles before being thrown into one of the railway wagons. Despite ‘Dixie’ Deans protests, one of the prisoners, thought to be Sgt. Harry Malcolm Robertson, later died of his injuries at Sagan. He is reported to have been shot on 29th April 1941 and died on 30th April. Refered to also in "Footprints on the Sands of Time." Sgt (E A) Stan Parris, POW no. 39316 refers in his liberation questionnaire to an escape attempt on “April 29th 1942 and says "Please refer to W/O Deans report already made, to RAF and Red Cross, This was a special report made.” Do anyone have anything on this or the report made by Dixie? Regards, Nick
