Description
This article reports that Capt. George H. Dunkelberg, former professor of agricultural engineering, has returned home. He landed with the 101st Airborne in Normandy on June 7, 1944 and fought in France until his glider was shot down in September. He was captured by the Germans and sent to Oflag 64, a prison camp in Poland. When the Germans marched the prisoners west to evade the advancing Russians in the winter of 1944-45, Dunkelberg and two fellow officers escaped and hid with a Polish family for five days until the Russians arrived.
