Arriving in Poland to visit Stalag VIIIb - Ride for my Dad Solo Tour - Episode 2

Episode 2 of Ride for my Dad is a little longer than I planned, but as it was the main reason for my trip I wanted to make sure I did the visit to the POW camp justice. This episode follows days 3 & 4 as I ride from Alsfeld across Germany to the east of Dresden. The following day takes me into Poland and to the town of Lambinowice where the Polish POW museum is situated on the site of the original Stalag VIIIb prisoner of war camp.
I didn't know what to expect or how I was going to feel visiting the place my father spent two years locked up. He spoke very little of his experiences, especially to us kids, but I now get a chance to try to understand it better.
