PFC. Alvin Lyle "Short" Schilling
US Army 34th Regiment 9th Division
from:Jefferson, IA, USA
My father, Alvin Schilling was captured in October, 1944 near Aachen, Germany. He had been separated from his unit in late September. I have a letter that he wrote during his time in Stalag IIB. He talked about being liberated by the Russian front, and treated badly by the Russians. He was on the march till meeting American forces in April, 1945.
