LUBRITZ & Alva 's WWII POW Camp...

"Thank you for posting the information on the WWII POW camps in Oklahoma. Your page allows me to learn more details of my family history. Your page includes the entry: November 15, 1942 - After the Army took over from the civilian contractors, the first American troops that arrived were 25 men of the Quartermaster Corps under the command of Lt. Luther Guess and Oscar B. Cruell. Six men of Medical Corps under the command of Lt. Ephraim Lubitz also arrived at that time.

Lt. Ephraim Lubitz is a misspelling. The r is left out. The correct spelling is Ephraim LUBRITZ. He was my dad. He was a physician and surgeon, graduate of LSU Medical School, from New Orleans, LA. Both he and my mother have been deceased for many years now. I was born after the war, but remember my mother telling me when I was a child, about my dad having been in charge of a prison camp hospital during the war where bad people were. My brothers were young children during the war and remember being in Oklahoma.

A friend of my brother's recently found your website, told him about it, and he told me. My brother's friend asked him if he is any relation to Lt. Ephraim Lubitz, because his name is mentioned in relation to the POW camp.

My Dad never talked to me about his time there, so if you happen to have any further info as to how long he was there, etc... I'd appreciate it. Thanks again for all the work you do to research for your website! I'll bet you helped the people that do the TV Show History Detectives. I happened to watch their show about the member of the Peterman family who wanted to know about land her family may have owned in Alva, and realized they must be talking about the same POW Camp where my Dad was stationed. I wonder if that show prompted the person who contacted my brother to surf the web and find your website. At any rate, thanks again, and thanks for correcting the spelling (LUBRITZ). Thank you for preserving this part of our country's and my family's history." -- Lana (Lubritz) Goldberg   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
