PFC. Emmett Erastus Pack
United States Army 83rd Infantry Regiment
from:Charlottesville, VA
My father Emmett Pack was a German prisoner of war for nine months. He was captured in France and then marched to Germany. When he was liberated he was taken to a field hospital and was told by the doctor who examined him that he and the other men from that camp would most likely not have survived another month. My father weighed 90 pounds when he was liberated. He was not mistreated but he was given very little food. He said the German soldiers and citizens themselves had very little food.
