Description
An Interesting document with period picture, can be seen the OST Patch in wear.
Josef Machina was from Ukraine, and was sent to Austria to work on a farm, but seven days after he arrived to work in Braunau am Inn he ran away in the summer of 1942.
After looking in various archives, I was unable to find him mentioned ever again.
Although, it is hard to think that Josef made it far from his captives. If caught he was most certainly face strong punishment or even death.
Comments:
An odd document, many items are seen for OST workers, but rarely is it recorded that they ran away.
