Where would I find information about names of Polish men conscripted into WW2 German military ??

Hi Danaj,

Most came from Wehrkreis XX, which the Germans knew as West Prussia. Before the war the area was widely known as the Polish Corridor.

I don't know if the records of Gau Danzig-West Preussen and Wehrkreis XX still exist, but they probably contained details of most Poles conscripted into the Wehrmacht.

Cheers,

Sid.

In Poland (and not only) it is rather called "Pommern Corridor" ['Korytarz Pomorski"].
