Pte. Lloyd Emmanuel Winters

United States Army

My dad, Lloyd E. Winters was taken prisoner by a tank as he was crawling in a ditch, he was taken to Stalag V11a and held for over 200 days until he and a captain managed to escape through a barbed wire at the back of the camp while the guards were otherwise occupied. He made it into France and there was helped by the underground. Upon returning home and being released from service he re-enlisted in the US Air Force. I have his POW tags the number is 145097. He did not like to speak of the experience so this is all I really know.
