| I think we know your grandfather was captured at Stalingrad, you have mentioned it just a couple of posts above I assume that he made it out alive and wasn't one of those who 'disappeared' in the gulags after the war?

Yes he did make it out in 1946 actually. He was a doctor and for some reason they let him go.
