He was a member of the 9th Infantry Division. He was later captured in September of 1944 and taken to Stalag 7A. He managed to escape with a friend (unknown name) who spoke some German on the night of December 24th 1944. 7 days later the two were captured on a bridge trying to enter Switzerland. Never seeing the other man again, dad was returned to Stalag 7A and served solitary confinement for 20+ days. Dad is still alive and anyone who served with him may contact him at my email address.
