Happy Birthday Josef Jakobs!
On this date, 116 years ago, Josef Jakobs was born in Luxemburg City. His parents both had long German pedigrees and Josef too was a German citizen.
Luxemburg City was only a few dozen kilometres from the border with Germany and easily accessible from the ancient German city of Trier.
In 1941, Josef celebrated his 43rd birthday within the confines of Camp 020, the MI5 interrogation centre. It would be his last.
