Douglas Walter Welch
United States Army
from:Victoria, TX
My wife's great uncle, Douglas Walter Welch, was killed in Stalag XIB. It has been told that he was tortured due to his knowledge of a British escape attempt and died due to his injuries during said torture. The story of torture was from an elderly distant relative, so we are trying to find any details of his encampment and death.
