207613 Pte. Charles William Sternberg US Army 7th Infantry Regiment from:Milwaukee, Wisconsin (d.9th May 1944) My uncle, Charles Sternberg, volunteered for the US Army in WWII. He fought in North Africa with the 3rd Division 7th Infantry Regiment and was awarded the Silver Star. He was captured by the Germans either in North Africa or Sicily. He spent time in several German POW camps. His last camp was Stalag 2B. In his letters home he mentioned working on farms. On May 9, 1944 he was "shot while trying to escape". From the official US history of Stalag 2B we believe that Charles was most likely murdered by the Germans and not shot while trying to escape. Our family would appreciate any information from other prisoners who may have known Charles. Especially the circumstances of his death. He is buried in the American Cemetery in Leige, Belgium.
