I was captured at Rochefort, Belgium on 24th December 1944 and spent about a month at Gerolatein, Germany. Then we started walking to a railroad that was still working. I was put on a boxcar with about 90 plus other prisoners and spent several days locked in there. Finally, we got to Stalag 12A at Limburg. I was put in the prison `hospital' and weighed in at 68 lbs. When the Allies advanced near to there, the walking wounded were moved out, but I was able to stay behind. We were liberated on 27th March 1945.
