Private Joseph H. Hodge

Army 106th Division 432rd Infantry Combat Regiment, Co.E

My father, Joseph H. Hodge, was a private in Company E, 423rd Infantry Regiment, 106th Division and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. He was captured on Dec. 16, 1944, a prisoner of war in Germany at Stalag IV-B from Dec. 1944 until May 1945. He passed away in 1984 from an accident at work. My father never spoke very much about the war, but did have some memorabilia, including his Stalag IV-B "dog-tags" which he always carried with him. He lost about 40 lbs. while a prisoner, but always said that he ate as well as the German population at the time. He also said that he and other prisoners were taken into towns to help clear roads, railroad lines, etc. after bombings by the Allies. I would like to hear from anyone who might remember my father.
