Christoph, You are such a treasure! Your middle initial must be R. for researcher.
I really enjoyed reading the article and like you was looking for any clue. If only we could get lucky enough that the Guidry/Guedry/.. that you and I are looking for has family that write something up about him. When looking through the 78th Division Flash newletters I saw a Guidry/Guedry or some spelling and was euphoric. But soon realized wrong one. I even wondered if this one might know the other. But what I learned from others and I think recently from the lady at the WW2 Museum, because she is from Louisiana, that G/G is a common name in Louisiana. To me it sounded so unusual and the only G/G I ever heard of was the one in Dad's life. Also when Mom and Dad tried to find him his city had gone away. Yep, and that was way before Hurricane Katrina. I wonder if he died fairly young, because it is odd that he lost touch with my Dad. Especially since he had visited them at some point.
My hope is the famous debriefing records will have G/G's name and some way to pursue at least some of his history. I wonder when he was captured and where. And how long had he been at Siegburg and a billion other things.
The 1st Infantry Division is the one a kind lady researched for me I thought I put the info on this site. I was shocked when they did not have any info on the escape at all. I have to get all of this info organized, as I mentioned, so I can more quickly access things and get them out to you. If this info is not on this site, I will put it here. Mr. Kleemann in Remagen thought the 1st Division might be the one too.
Thank you for everything! I am working on Mom's 90th Birthday celebration.
