PFC. Cleo Reynolds
US Army Coy A. 398th Infantry Regiment
from:Oliver Springs TN
My father, Cleo Reynolds, was captured with others of the 398th, Infantry Regiment, Company A, during an Allied incursion into Wingen-sur-Moder in France, in December, 1944.
He was first sent to Stalag XIIA, then transferred on to IVB. I still have a letter, dated 13th of January 1945, that he wrote to his mother from the camp. In it, he says he hopes that she and his brothers had a good Christmas; he goes on, "You know about what kind of one I had, so there is nothing I can tell you." The letter has markings indicating it was reviewed by German censors before being sent. It bears the camp name (IVB) and his prisoner number, which appears to be (it's quite faded now) 311549. He remained in Stalag IVB until the camp was liberated in May 1945.
