205219 Sgt. Peter "Skip" Pajich US Army B Coy. 106th Infantry Regt. from:Pittsburgh, PA My father, Peter Pajich, died in 2002, a happy man. He felt like a king most of his life because of the suffering he had as a prisoner of war in Germany. He was a POW for 6 months in Stalag 4B. He spoke of many things but the major memories I, his daughter, have is the fact that he did not get to eat anything but bread. They tried to eat rotten apples from the ground and cockroaches even. They were given very little water. He had body lice most of the time. He said he didn't take his boots off for 6 months. He came out of boot camp at 169 lbs. and came home from POW camp at 89. He saw many die there. He was a 'lucky' one. I am very proud to say he was my father.
