Col George Deschenaux of the 422nd infantry Regiment POW at IX A, Oflag 79
Here's a link to his history on the Indiana Military site: www.indianamilitary.org/German%20PW%20Camps/Prisoner%20of%20War/PW%20Camps/Stalag%20XII-A%20Limburg/George%20Descheneaux/George%20Descheneaux.htm
The bottom of this site traces his locations after capture:

Hi Connie,

Most of the captured officers first went to Bad Orb until they were moved to Hammelburg or Oflag 64 later on. Some officers, such as Lt. Col. Ouellette (422/1BN) were sent to normal "enlisted" camps. Lt. Col Ouellette was the senior officer at IV-B I believe.

Note a granddaughter of a member of the 423rd who was imprisoned here is looking for more information about this experience and the experience after release: Granddaughter of 423rd member imprisoned here is looking for information: 106thdivision.proboards.com/post/4530/thread
