Hi Pat - I have contacted UK Red Cross for their archives. These are patchy but some exist. These overlooked displaced people in UK and may have acurate records.

hi andy

thanks for that i did email them last week asking if they had any archives on displaced persons,but am still waiting for a reply.and now you have answered that question for me,all the archives in the areas that he was sent to have no records available.
was you able to find who holds the records for seedorf camp?i was given a email adress and number to contact,but there records didnt start till 1950,which of course was to late as grandfather left in 1947.
i also emailed the ravna gore in london and the serbian church but havent recieved any answers yet.

all the best pat

Hi Pat - Try dp camp zeven on google. Lots of information on dp camps in Germany and contact numbers. I too will check out these as we both have same camps and corresponding dates of residence. Let me know if you come up with anything.

Hello gostic

My father in law was also in seedorf camp and came to England in 1947. He also couldn't go back to Slovenia. We don't know much about his time in the war he never spoke about it, but I also have his papers and some pictures at one stage he was with the red cross in a british zone.
best regards
