256949 PFC Joseph A St.Aubin US Army from:New Bedford, MA My dad Joseph St Aubin told of being a scout.
They were holed up in a small building or shed when Germans called them out. He said he told the soldier not to go out or he'd be shot and he was.
They were ultimately in this camp. He said he survived on rutabaga's and charcoal. A doctor told them the charcoal would help their stomachs. He said they saw the Germans were working on a new plane without propellers. They laughed that it would never get off the ground. It was a jet, and it would!
It is said, as many said, that he was only 80 pounds when liberated.
