Sgt. Edwin T. Silies
Home After Liberation
Sgt. Edwin T. Stiles, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Stiles, of the
Prentiss section of Macon
county, arrived home on Sun
day after being liberated fropi
a German prison camp on
April 28, where he had been a
prisoner since December 24,
1944.
Sgt. Stiles entered the armed
forces on December 7. 1942 and
took his basic training at Camp
McCoy, Wis., and Breckinridge,
Ky. He was sent to overseas
duties on March 23, 1944, and
was placed in the 44th Engi
neers Combat Battalion. He was
in all the battles all through
the Invasion of Germany.
For seven days Sgt. Stiles
and two of his companions
made their way through enemy
territory after being surround
ed by paratroopers .and three
panzer divisions. During this
time they traveled more than
50 miles before they were tak
en prisoners at Bastonge, Bel
gium.
While the prisoners were on
marches to the different camps,
the civilians would throw rocks
and sticks at the boys and
even wanted to take some of
the boys out of the line and
shoot them, Sgt. Stiles said.
One days food consisted of two
slices of black bread and two
thirds can of rutabaga soup,
which was very unappitizing.
On the food they had they
were scarcely able to march,
and during this time he lost
from 170 pounds to 115. He has
gained all his weight back now.
After the first month and half,
the prisoners began to get Red
Cross packages containing food
and cigarettes, which helped
out greatly to pass the time
while in the stockades of barb
ed wire fence and concentina.
Sgt. Stiles, who was the only
Macon county boy in this camp
of prisoners, met on May 13,
in Le Harve, France, Pfc. Frank
Dills, a schoolmate and a neigh
bor of the Prentiss community,
who had also been a prisoner
of the German War since De
cember 22. They were in the
same battalion and in camps
close by, however they had
never met. They made the
