PFC. Roland Madison "Red" Davis
US Army 399th Infantry Regiment
from:Ellsworth, Maine
My great grandfather, Roland Davis, was held at Stalag 3A from late 1944 to some time before 28th of May 1945 (he was married on this day). We know little of his time there, but my grandfather (his son) said that he and another man (or men) escaped together and that he saved a man's life during the escape. My great grandfather did not speak much about the war or his time as a POW, but did do an interview at a VA before he passed away in 1989. We haven't been able to find anyone who knows anything about the interview, but somewhere out there is someone who knows his story.
