PFC. Irving Gainen

US Army

from:Bronx, NY

My Great Uncle Irving Gainen was captured in France on 7th of December 1945 as reported by The Red Cross. I only just recently found out he fought in WW2 in the US Army, never the less a Prisoner of War in Stalag 4B.

He wrote a letter to his sister (My Great Aunt), upon his liberation, explaining how they were forced to march for 3 days as The Red Army was getting closer. I wish we knew his story before he passed in 1990. He never did talk about it
