Christoph,
So guess what? Your Roster site had lots of the missing numbers! It also has other things that I will comment on later.
But thanks to you I am only missing numbers for 3 of the names of the deceased POW's that I know about.
On the Archive site I could not find a serial number for a fellow Medic, Mike, that last saw my Dad before Dad was captured. I am sure if you were doing the research you would have located a serial number for him already. This man wrote 2 long letters to Mom during the War and even he was surprised that the first was allowed to go out. From his writing he was a very special person! I tried to locate him and/or someone in his family and will try to do so again at some point. I would like his descendents to have copies of these letters - they display the character of a genuinely beautiful human being.
It is so endearing to hear this man refer to my Dad throughout as "The Moose" and he apologizes for that at the end of the letter and says "but that is what we all affectionately called him." Even in February of 1945, and Dad was captured around October 7th, of 1944, Mike writes that " the other day the Monster and Little Monster were asking me if I heard any thing about 'the Moose.' " Because it is February it means that these 3 men survived the Battles in the Hurtgen Forest where most of their outfits were decimated. They also survived the Battle of the Bulge but I am not sure where Mike's outfit was at that time since they had suffered so many losses that they did not play as big a role as other outfits.
More to follow. And as always, THANK YOU for all of your information and guidance!
