240492 PFC. William Conrad Claycomb United States Army 45th Infantry Regiment from:Kentucky My father William Claycomb was a POW at Stalag 7a, near Moosburg from Sept 14 1944 to May 1945. He just passed away at the age of 92, and of course many stories abound from his service. One especially that he was able to work on a farm for a while where the Germans got their produce from. One day this old WW1 soldier, who lived there, took him back to the camp. As they reached his gate my father noticed the latch was broken and he offered to fix it. The old man said nah, nah and handed Dad his rifle while he climbed over the fence and Dad gave it back to him so he could get over fence too. Ha! Dad knew the old gun didn't shoot. But he didn't let the old man know. He couldn't run because of an injury so it was no use trying.
