Pte. Henry K. Maus

United States Army 106th Infantry

from:Arma, KS

My father, Henry Maus, was in the Artillery Group of the 106th Infantry. He was taken as a Prisoner of War during the Battle of the Bulge. He was taken to Stalag 4B.

His story was that he and a few other Americans had talked a farmer into piling horse manure near the fence of the place where he was held. He and the others jumped from a second story window, over the fence where the pile of manure broke their fall. After escaping, they ran and went into hiding in the forest. After two days they ran into a group of American soldiers coming down the road. The soldiers told them that the war had just ended!
