422/HQ

[Jim West - Indiana Military Or]

My father served in the I&R platoon of Regimental HQ company 422nd. I
am writing a screenplay and novel about his experiences in the Bulge
and as a POW at Stalags IXA and IXB. Anyone who was in the 106th or a
one of these Stalags and would like to share their story with me, I
would appreciate it. Also, if anyone has information about a family
member who served in the 106th or at the Stalag, I would like to speak
with them also.

Thanks

my father, Paul Eanes of NC (still living) was with the 106th and a POW from 12/44 to 4/45, in camps 7A @ Stuttgart; 9A @ Gorlitz & 11A @ Falling Bosil. He has recently put some of his story on paper which I need to transcript to computer. He is 83 and memories of this time period are very vivid (he suffers from PTS). If you would be interested please contact me at [e-mail]. I need to take him to the VA hospital for a regular checkup later this week and will pass on your inquiry.

My father, Lt John M Krol was with 106th/422nd HQ..killed in action.
His noncoms were..Pilkington....Reisman-McKinly...Schoonover..
Fred Pilkington taught art....continues as an artist...from Hemstead NY now in WA
Wild man Bill Reisman became an episcopal priest ...in Garrison Ny.
Mac lived in West Virginia......I drove around and visited many of his
men 40 years ago. But I'm terrible for keeping in touch.

I'm must revise my last statement after reviewing more documents.
William Reisman was in 1944 a 1st Lt, later a Captain.
