Trying to locate the POW camp my mother's fiance, PFC Ken M. Lampton, died in after being captured during the Battle of the Bulge. The camp was called Stalag 6G Bonn Rheinland, Prussia 50-07. According to the records, he was captured on 12/18/44 and died there 7/11/45. Not sure how he could have died in July of 1945 when the war ended 5/8/45 on VE day. Hmmm...
When I said that British fighter-bombers had shot up my tanks with 40mm
shells, the Reichsmarschall who felt himself touched by this, said: 'That's
completely impossible. The Americans only know how to make razor blades.' I
replied: 'We could do with some of those razor blades, Herr Reichsmarshall.'
