German WWII Preliminary Record for POW Report for Miklos Kerencai- Kerencai was classified as a civilian house servant from Budapest and was arrested in Waldbichi Oberbayern Germany in 1945. We can assume he was arrested along with his employers, because there is no information that I can dig up about this gentleman, but it could be a fun research project.  

Note: These are original vintage reprints of Prisoner of War Preliminary reports These are guaranteed as described. This paperwork would have been a prisoner “intake form”, with all of the individual’s personal details including the prisoner's name, fingerprints, place of birth, next of kin, date of capture, date of arrival, date of transfer, physical description, distinguishing marks, etc.

Copies of these would have been supplied to the different departments that needed access to this information. This is one of the vintage reprints that survived from the infamous Allied prisoner-of-war camp in the Palace Hotel of Mondorf-les-Bains, in Luxembourg, code named "Camp Ashcan". Each card is annotated "CCPWE #32", an abbreviation for the Central Continental Prisoner of War Enclosure #32. Operating from May to August 1945, it served as a processing station and interrogation center for the 86 most prominent surviving NSDAP leaders prior to their trial in Nuremberg, including Hermann Göring and Karl Dönitz.
