[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 251890, member: 1436"] My Poppa (the grandfather who raised me) served in Germany and France. He was captured and held in Stalag 2 and 7. I know he was near Mooseburg (sp). He went in weighing 325 lbs and returned weighing 135. He talked very little about his time held captive. We do still have his letters (they were censored.) We also have a Nazi spoon he used in the garden where he was assigned to work. The local paper did a story on his service several times. I know most of what I know from what I read there. I do know when he came home he told my grandmother that no matter what she served for dinner at night, he had to have some kind of meat. His feet were frozen during the march and he suffered from nerve damage for the rest of his life. He could only wear a certain kind of socks and leather soled shoes. [/QUOTE]
