I have the worlds worst memory as my brother told me many stories of his interment there, the forced march and their short stay in Stalag VII-A where Patton himself rode a tank through the gate to liberate them. My brother remembered all of that right down to the Pearl Handled Pistols on his hip. Patton’s son in law was a POW of Stalag III and the march. Bro still had his hand written notes and our sister transcribed them and scanned them into his iMac. His daughter has the original scribbles...

I remember that story! My dad said that Patton on the tank was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen until he married and had children. And the forced march was the source of nightmares for my dad for the rest of his life. I have a book of remembrance of the POW camp called Clipped Wings. I don't know if it's available anywhere now. It belonged to my dad who passed away in 1996. Miss him every day.
