Larry, I love seeing your picture and Dad's together!
Now again Thank You for all of your great and fascinating research!. I would imagine it would take way more than a whole 3 day weekend to come up with what you did!
I am curious about the logistics of how the German's handled the front line aid stations and then what they did after that and who determined it and how did they know if there was space available etc. What logistical complexities had to be solved! And then the emotional side in battle of being a German and wounding someone and then also telling the wounded man that you will be back to get him - even if it takes a day or 2 and then really doing it. Pretty spectacular!
Your research brings us closer to seeing an overall German hospital system. We know the German's were not planning on being overrun so at some point they had to piece this together I would assume. I know in a Village in the Hurtgen Forest area there remains a home that has a Hospital Museum in its basement/bottom floor. It was used as a hospital for I assume only Germans. I do not know the dates of when it became a hospital.
I will work on magnifying your maps Larry.
I looked at all of the names on your list.
Barlow is on the Stolz Cemetery list , although separated from the other names. He is not on the 2 lists I have of supposedly Stalag 6 G prisoners. At least one of those lists is provided by Christoph, somewhere above and maybe the other list too.
Keenan - not on my 2 lists or Cemetery list.
Briggs, John - not on my 2 lists or Cemetery list. Note Mary refers to a Briggs but the one on my lists is Daniel B.
McGinnis - not on my 2 lists or Cemetery list.
Butler shows being liberated on my list that has that info. And Butler is on my other list. And Butler is not on the Cemetery list.
Campbell is on the Cemetery list.
Culik is on the Cemetery list.
Wade is on the Cemetery list.
Westgate is on the Cemetery list.
Boyette is not on either list or the Cemetery list.
Coleman not on either list.and from now on assume not on the Cemetery list as well.
Eigelbach not on either list.
Fulton not on either list BUT ON CHRISTOPH'S Red Cross Report.
Gaulesky not on either list
Hix not on either list
Lesmer not on either list
McKown not on either list
And while not one of the names you provided Larry - it is interesting to note that Mary's Dad, Walter Brinegar, is not on my 2 lists!
Fascinating!!!
I close with something one wounded Ex POW told me, " I am alive because of the humanity of the German soldiers."
