Charles Haas was captured in Holland one month after the beginning of Operation Market Garden. According to his service record, he was reported captured on 29th of October 1944. The POW camp Kommandant said to him, "Haas, that is a German name. You are fighting on the wrong side!" He replied, "No, sir, I'm not." He was liberated from the camp by Russian troops on 9th of June 1945. When he was repatriated on 12th of June 1945, he weighed only 90 pounds. He was my great-uncle, and he died in 1966 in his hometown.

My Dad, Nicholas M. Haas, was a Marine aboard the USS Boise. I know he was on board during the Sicily campaign and fought aboard her in the South Pacific afterwards. He passed away in 1954, and I have some items of his and some notes. I have to check the dates, but I believe he went aboard sometime in 1942.
