S/Sgt. Harold H. Fuhrman

US Army HQ Coy. 101st Airborne Division

from:Bowler, Wisconsin

T/Sgt. Harold H. Fuhrman in 1942

My father, Harold Fuhrman, enlisted in the 327th Glider Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division in 1942. He shipped off to England in preparation for the D-Day invasion. While there, he was transferred to Division HQ where he served as a clerk. He made the invasion in a glider the evening before the general attack, was in combat for three days, and was then captured and spent the remainder of the war in various German POW camps. The last one (and the only one I know of) was Stalag III-C near Kuestrin, Germany. The camp was liberated by the Russians in April 1945, and he made his way east through Warsaw, Poland to the Crimea, where he boarded a ship that docked in Italy and then made its way to the USA.
