This is a very interesting program. Thanks so much for making it available. I have shared it on the OLLI @ Duke member page, so I'm sure you'll be getting more viewers.
My Father supervised a group of officers who worked at RJ Reynolds’s Tobacco Co. He,said they were very smart and good learners. When time came to be returned to Germany, many did not want to return. They cited the utter devastation, harsh living conditions, and threat of recrimination from some in the German population. I remember dad telling him “you will never understand how bad it is over there. Upon their departure, a Major Feucht gave dad his drinking cup he had fabricated of aluminum and engraved “Maj. Feucht” as a token of his appreciation for the treatment he had received there in Winston Salem.
Hi, I found your lecture very informative, my father was stationed at A 11:58 rmy Camp Elliott back in 1942 and he sent my mother a picture of himself and fellow soldiers with him and i have tried to locate it without luck, I’m sure there must be some information about it. I have contacted a number of military offices with help. I was thinking if he was at a interment camp. My name Bruce Fritsch Thank you
