Jeters, Robert 424-C POW Stalags XIIA, IIIA, nearby coal work camp in Wunsdorf, XI-B www.indianamilitary.org/German%20PW%20Camps/Prisoner%20of%20War/PW%20Camps/Stalag%20XI-B/RobertJeters/RobertJeters.htm
captured in Winterspelt and traveling with a group of 30-40 others, made his first brief POW stop at XIIA in Limburg on Christmas eve. In the night there was an air raid here. In the AM they were told that an officer's barracks had taken a direct hit and 60 American officers had been killed; he moved on Christmas day for the long march from Limburg to Luchenwalde and Stalag III A. He spent 3 days here where he cleaned up and wrote a letter. Then he was chosen to go to a small nearby work camp in Wunsdorf from which he worked in the Coal yards (Some worked on farms or in a nearby military school.) He was sent from here on a brief detail unloading flour from barges in Berlin. While he was gone the nearby military school was bombed and some hit the camp. His last encampment was XI-B.
