Hello all: In the early or mid 1940s my dad worked at the U.S. Army Air Base c. five miles west of Great Bend, KS. Sometimes he would tell about having been called in to translate what German POWS were saying. Evidently they were being transported to points west, i.e. CO, NM, WY etc. Where they came from, I do not know, but they were probably some of the Afrika Kor.ps.
