I have some friends who are VERY knowin about Camp Hearne. It is closer to Houston than it is to Dallas. It was located in the town of Hearne, Texas about 20 miles north of College Station/Bryan Texas. If you wish I can send your e-mail on to them. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ralph Scheffler Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2014 9:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ROOTS-L] Prisoner of War Records of 1946 Looking for a German family member who was a member of the German Africa Corps. held as a POW in America. He is Alois NELKE born 10 Jan 1911 in Richnau, West Prussia and was a sergeant at the time of capture on 09 May 1943. He went by ship to New York and then Camp Hearne near Dallas, Texas. Other transferred stations were in Arizona, Utah, California and Montana. No military records can be found from 1943 to 1946 when he returned to Scotland and then back to Germany in 1947. The German Red Cross has no information about his time in the United States or in Scotland. Thanks for any assistance. Ralph Scheffler [email protected]
