The supposed Korean pictures I believe is not Korean, but somewhere in in the Asian theater, probably the Phillipines. notice the children are suffering from malnutrition bloated stomachs,
My grandfather mothers side fought at that Battle of the Bulge, injured captured and later escaped when killing the German guard. He passed away in 1995.
I have a brother-in-law whose father fought for the Germans, When Stalingrad was surrenered he served his time in Siberia till 1947. That is right 1947. he passed away in 2008.
I grew up in church whereby many of the men had immigrated to the Us and had served in the Armies of Germany, some were SS. some even where captured by the Americans and yes a couple were captured by the Russians, A german POW in Russia did not get out when the war ended, one guy was finally freed in 1951.
Not many of the guys are left at the church anymore some where only 14 - 19 when they served and others like my brother-in-laws father lived up to the age of 96.
thanks for the post on the pictures. brings back memories of the stories of soldiers whom served on both sides of WWII.

Your brother in law got off easy—some of those guys didn’t get released by the Russians until the mid 50s.
