RE: Carl A Hildenbrand POW270587 Camp Stalag II B Good Evening, Please contact me. My Grandfather was listed as MIA and i have a list of POWS that are listed as MIA also. I cross referenced the list with my Grandpops Book that he kept while in POW camp, he kept lists of fellow POW American Heroes! He has Poems, drawings, and letters. This info was heavily sought out by other entities, and i was elated to see the 36th infantry division celebrated by your museum. My Grand pop was apart of a 4 star Family and his Eldest brother was KIA. My Grandpops sons followed his service in the military and his son in law was a paratrooper in the 101st! My mother (Carl Hildenbrands daughter) also had a daughter in the Army! We are very proud of our Grandfathers service and surviving the Rapido River Battle. We would love to visit Austin,Tx and share any documents that will benefit your Museum. Please feel free to contact me anytime! My un!cle has taken hundreds of hours to document My Grandfathers time abroad and that accompanied with the letters from my Gramps to my Grandmom showed me the loving side of my Tough War Torn Grandpop! His times are documented online and also lists of his fellow Heroes that were in the POW camp! I cross referenced the list with your 36th Infantry Roster and alot of Guys made it home! God bless your work and the Museum! And God Bless the Fallen of the 36th! If it wasn't for Men as Brave as The 36th we wouldn't have our Freedom! Bill Van Auken.....Billvanauken@gmail.com
