Walking With Sadie

Woof! Woof! This is the Lady Sadie Pug all the way from SW Colorado where we received over a foot of snow last weekend. NW Okie missed it though, 'cause she was somewhere between Oklahoma and Texas. But the sunshine has come out since. This Lady Pug is energized by the snow. Woof! Woof!

We have included some WWII POW camps of the 1940's in this week's newsletter. Both Colorado and Oklahoma and the center of the "Heartland" had POW camps scattered through their states during WWII>.

We heard from Michael Wolf who corrected one or two little details about his father Werner Wolf, who was a POW in the Camp Alva after having surrendered as officer of the Afrika Korps (10. Panzerdivision) in Tunesia 1943. Indeed he managed to escape, as is mentioned in your article, but he was not recaptured in Kansas City but in a little town just before he attempted to cross the border towards Mexico (he had the idea to reach Argentine in order to search for a possibility to get back to Germany). Werner Wolf reentered the german army in postwar 1955 as Major and ended his military career as Colonel at the NATO Headquarter in Brussels 1971 (where Michael used to go to school), he died 1973. His son, Michael would like to add that as far as he knew the POWs of Camp Alva, weren't all 'Nazi's and hard core sympathizers.' Instead, it might be true that the camp exclusively contained officers of the Wehrmacht.

Cpt. Miles W. Kelly's Year in Alva, September, 1944 thru September, 1945. After service in North Africa and Italy during World War II, Dr. Miles William Kelly, was stationed at the prisoner-of-war camp in Alva, Oklahoma from September 28, 1944 to September 17, 1945. He was one of the medical officers at the facility. For the most part, this account is based on the letters that he wrote home to his wife.

Good Night! Good Luck! Woof! Woof!
