Lone Sentry: Stalag IXB (Bad Orb) List of Prisoners

On 2 April 1945 an American task force broke through the German lines, and drove north over 60 km (37 mi) through enemy held territory to Bad Orb, and liberated Stalag IX-B.

The camp was liberated by a task force comprising the 2nd Battalion, 114th Regiment, U.S. 44th Infantry Division, reinforced with Stuart tanks and armored cars from the 106th Cavalry Group and M-10 tank destroyers of 776th Tank Destroyer Battalion.

Cowardice Is the Crime That Enables All Others

Why didn't the Irish achieve anything remotely resembling the glorious Battle of Bannockburn? Outnumbered 4 to 1, the Scots had a few dozen dead while the English lost 12,000.

In the pathetic and cowardly disaster they glorified with "The Rising of the Moon" ballad, the Irish lost 10 micks for every limey they killed. The song is presented like the rah-rah Notre Dame fight song, but it should have been a sad wasteland like "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald."

An uncle came home from Europe with a crooked leg and a permanent limp. Friends called him "Bumpy" Gallagher for the rest of his life. I regret I never asked him about his experiences.
