Pte. Robert Eugene Eastin
United States Army
from:Rice County, Kansas
According to military sites I have found, Gene Eastin was first reported as a POW to the International Committee of the Red Cross on 23rd of January 1945. The last report was made 9th of June 1945. He was reportedly captured near Holtzwihr, France.
These dates don't always match up. One site says that Stalag V-A was evacuated on 1st of April 1945.
I hope to be able to reconcile all of this information so I can share it with his daughter.
