I just found another POW - Wesley P. Newton - who was in Siegburg mentioned in Allen Cronenberg's book "Forth to the Mighty Conflict: Alabama and World War II", also an evacuation to another camper farther east is noted:

Source was Newton's address to the Montgomery section of the Retired Officers' Association in 1992.
Newton was drafted into the army in 1943 at age 18. He has written books about WWII (The Command in the Sky) and was Professor of History at Auburn University. He passed away last year.
