Pte. Harold Spencer "Andy" Anderson
US Army
from:Massachusetts
My Dad, Harold Anderson was captured in Italy in 1944 and was at Stalag 11B in Hammerstein until it's liberation in 1945. I never got to speak with him about it much as he and my Mom divorced when I was 7 years old and I didn't reconnect with him until a year before he died at age 83, although at that time he did tell me he met Gen.Eisenhower after the camp was liberated. My Mom told me a couple of stories about his experiences when I was young, most notably about him being told to weed a garden and pulling up all of the plants instead. I just want to commemorate his experiences in the war and remember him for his service.
