    I grew up right there! We had horse shows and rodeo’s on that ground. We farmed the land all around it. I escaped at 21 to United States military and never looked back. Now a ghost town. More people in cemetery including my parents and Uncle Al. Alvin and the chipmunks. Was a great non-assuming place. Work and sleep on the farm. Now dryed up and deserted. Miss my childhood.

    When many German prisoners were released from American camps, many if not all were actually released in Germany - but were sent to England or France as laborers for two or more years before being released. German prisoners transferred to the Soviets were treated as criminals and were worked to death.
