WWII German POW's Watercolors (1945)

We heard from a woman a few weeks ago concerning a number of German POW's that helped with the potato harvests at her grandfathers ranch in Center, Colorado. Karen Paul (email: Karen Paul karenp@sebastiancorp.net) inherited some watercolor sketches painted by Herr Weidenmann, German POW in 1945.

One of those POW's was Eugene Wiedenmann who had done a few watercolor sketches while he was helping with harvest. Karen was wondering if anyone could help point her in the direction as to how she might find out something about Herr Wiedenmann, and if he might have become an artist of some renown.

[This image on the left shows the signature of the artist and the date "45."]

Karen had her daughter take some photos of the sketches. She says they are cartoon style drawings, and show not only the prisoners, but her Uncle Herb Bowers, with his back to the artist, and her elder cousin Pattie Bowers with the yellow pigtails.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
