Pte. James Edward Robbins

US Army 19th Armored Infantry Battalion

from:Arkansas. USA

James Robbins, my dad, was serving in the Forneau Neuf area of France. He had been sent out on patrol with 5 other soldiers when they were captured by the Nazis. This happened on 1st of January 1945. I don't know what happened to the other 5 men, where they were taken, but my dad was held at Stalag 5A. On 1 April, the Nazis evacuated the camp because the Allies were getting too close. I don't know where they took him after that. I only know my dad was back in the US on 18 June. He was very malnourished, and his feet were in terrible condition. But, thank God, he made it home alive.
