Sgt. Peter "Skip" Pajich B Coy. 106th Infantry Regt. My father, Peter Pajich, died in 2002, a happy man. He felt like a king most of his life because of the suffering he had as a prisoner of war in Germany. He was a POW for 6 months in Stalag 4B. He spoke of many things but the major memories I, his daughter, have is the fact that he did not get to eat anything but bread. They tried to eat rotten apples from the ground and cockroaches even. They were given very little water. He had body lice most of the time. He said he didn't take his boots off for 6 months. He came out of boot camp at 169 lbs. and came home from POW camp at 89. He saw many die there. He was a 'lucky' one. I am very proud to say he was my father.

Sgt. Kenneth Leroy Witt 106th Infantry My Dad, Ken Witt served in the US Army. He was a medic and was one of the green soldiers shipped over to near Belgium in December of 1944. Captured in the Battle of the Bulge. They were marched and sent by train to Stalag IVB. He was listed MIA for over a month until his parents received word he was a Prisoner of War. Liberated by the Russian Army in April 1945. He received a Purple Heart for frozen feet. His weight while a POW went from about 150lb down to near 90lb when liberated. Kenny passed away in 1978.
From the reports it seems he was 4th Grade Technician serving in the Medical Corps.

Joseph Cheberenchick 81st Combat Engineers 106th Infantry Div. I am trying to find out which POW camp my father-in-law, Joseph Cheberenchick, was sent to. He was in the 81st Combat Engineers of the 106th Infantry Division and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. He was a POW somewhere in Germany. Did anyone know him as a POW?
Update
You can get his POW records from the International Red Cross, Geneva. If you find their website you can email the archives for a cost (probably around $40US). (Pete)
