Pte. Pete N. Lunstad
United States Army
from:North Dakota
My Grandfather is Pete N Lunstad and he served in WWII. Our family has very limited information about his time spent in the service due to Pete not willing to talk about his experience. He often referred to this time when asked as to let bygones be bygones. I can only imagine with a very heavy heart the things he witnessed and was subjected to during this time in his life. I am attempting to retrace his steps and would greatly appreciate any help with directions on how to uncover more about his time serving. He enlisted on 6th of May 1942 in Missoula Montana. He was reported as a prisoner of war on the 19th of February 1943 whilst serving in the North African Theatre in Tunisia He was detained by Germany in Stalag 2b Hammerstein 99 Work Camps in V He was a POW of war from approximately 2 years. During this time his oldest brother received notification from the US government that Pete had died.
The only thing my Grandfather shared with me was that he was a member of the Death March. He also mentioned that once he was freed that he had to go through extensive paperwork as the US Government had declared him dead to prove that he was who he was. I would greatly appreciate any information anyone might have on my grandfather or any advice on how to find out more about this time in his life. If you have any information please contact me.
