Hello all,
I just want to thank Dick for his message and to reinforce his warning (being neither a specialist on Imperial-Russian 
detaining camps nor believing that the map & list could provide the solution of questions regarding the fate of detained 
Volhynian Germans). It might just be another piece of the big puzzle.
