Introduction

In my work as Historian of the 7th Armored Division Association, I continue to gather new information. This includes information about specific men captured by the Germans and held as Prisoners of War. This web page is a repository for such information as I come across it. This is not a systematic project so that it will never be comprehensive. -- Wesley Johnston
