I am interested to find and correspond via email with any former German soldier that may have spent time in the Camp Forrest POW camp located in Tullahoma, Tennessee. Additionaly, I would like to correspond via email with any german veterans of the war. If anyone on this forum can help in this matter, it will be greatly appreciated. I thought I could easily find veterans groups on the net, but this has not been the case so far. If anyone know where there is a web page of German Veterans groups, I would like that informationas well. Thanks!
Heres the one I have on hand. 7th Panzer Division. which was commanded by Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel (future GFM and CO of the D.A.K. and also Recipient of the PLM and the RK) during the Frainch Campaign. Traditionsverband ehem. 7 Panzer-Division, Rolf Penselin, Humboldtstrasse 22, D-33615 Bielefeld, Germany.
Thanks for the tip! I really wish I could find a vet that served his POW time at the camp in my hometown.
CSA--good luck on that one--that is like trying to find the proverbial needle in the proverbial haystack. Unless of vourse--you have names to go with who you want to contact. The only German POW that I personally knew--was a crewman on U 505 which was captured by our Navy. This man was a friend of mine til his sad passing in Feb of 1999. He was the last man off U 505 and was the one who "pulled the plug." His name was Hans Goebeler. Hans Goebeler and his wife--lived here in Corpus Christi, Texas for some years. He was retired and was selling Mugs and other things that they made. He used to set-up at local Gunshows here to sell his things. His wife worked at a restaurant called: "Blackbeards" which is where the U.S.S.Lexington now sits near as a ship museum.
