This follow-up exhibition will concentrate on what happened after May 1945 and before the Police Academy moved in.Allied forces on their way from the western part of Germany picked up lots of Wehrmacht troops trying to reach Bavaria and the US Zone and put them as their prisoners in the camp.
Unfortunately, the follow-up exbitition was a misunderstanding.
But i am now close to finish my historical novel on The Great Escape of Biberach.
There will be a German version and an English one. I have decided to do two versions instead of a direct translation. All the historical facts are the same, but some military facts are more detailed in the English version. By Mid September 2020, I am planning to have them both printed.
During my interviews with locals from Biberach and Birkenhard (north of the camp) I picked up lots of stories and documents worth exhibiting.
In the early 50ees , German refugees from East and West trying to escape the Soviet Army or being moved out by the French from, e.g. Strasbourg, also have stories, documents and other items.
I am busy collecting them now.
The Monument, planned to be next to the main gate on 250 m² is now with the Town Council to make a final decision,, due to the Corona virus, notmuch before autom 2021
The two designs I have seen are both impressive. Let's see which one wins. The local Technical Academy with their students came up with 5 designs and to me, they all look good. Also a matter of costs of course.
