2. Escaped the POW camp living 7 days and nights without food in the woods and finally working his way to the 45th division.
3. Col. William Claude Scales was awarded a Purple Heart for being wounded in the Battle of the Bulge in WW II, as well as POW medal. He said, "I would never have received a Good Conduct Medal for I was known as the soldier that was demoted the most". That was said modestly, for a movie could be made about his heroics after being captured twice by the Germans, tortured and finally escaped. He told of the horrors of unkind German soldiers, for each time a U.S. bombing attack occured near the Stalag, one POW would be systematically shot. 75% of all escapees were shot on site when captured, a true miracle that he survived 2 escapes. He truly was a brave man. We honor you Col Scales and Company E 142nd Infantry.

Captured 12/19/1944, Lex spent the next four months as a POW in Germany, at Camp IX-B in Bad Orb, Germany. Conditions steadily worsened, and hunger and disease claimed the lives of many. Lex was finally liberated when advancing US troops overran Camp IX-B on 2 April 1945. John was moved to a field evacuation hospital, then in early May 1945 shipped to the US; he spent the time until his discharge in November 1945 at several medical facilities.

2. TSgt James W. Russell, 35 810 272, Co. G 424th Inf do state that Pfc Donald Schultz was killed in action about 0730 hours 16 Dec 1944 in the vicinity of Berg, Germany by small arms fire. This was the first morning of the German breakthrough and the company was receiving enemy small arms fire from it's front. Pfc Schultz was in a firing trench in the company's defensive position when hit. He died almost instantly and the body was put on a stretcher and carried to behind the company supply tent. The bullet that killed Pfc Schultz passed completely through his head. His body was last seen by me at the company supply tent the same day.
3. 1st Sgt John S. Lord, 37 125 927 Co G 424th Inf do swear that on 17 Dec 1944 I saw Pfc Donald Schultz of this company lying dead in the company area. The company was in a defensive position facing the Siegfried Line in the vicinity of Berg, Germany. The Germans started their breakthrough early in the morning of 16 Dec 1944. It was early this morning that Donald Schultz was hit in the head with small arms fire. He died almost instantly and the body was put on a stretcher, carried from the position and put behind the supply tent. The next day, 17 Dec 1944, I removed the body of Donald Schultz from the stretcher as it was needed to evacuate other wounded men. I knew the body was that of Donald Schultz as we had been in the same company in the States, had trained together there, went to England together and trained there and were together in the same company when the company took up the defensive position facing the Siegfried Line.
4. In a telegram received Monday morning from the War Department, Mrs. Twilah Schultz of this city was informed of the death of her son, Pfc. Donald Schultz, 19, who was reported killed in action in Germany on December 16.
   The telegram reads as follows: I am deeply distressed to inform you corrected report just received states your son, Pfc. Donald Schultz who was previously reported missing in action, was killed in action on Dec. 16, in European area. The Secretary of War asks that I express his deep sympathy in your loss and his regret that unavoidable circumstances made necessary the unusual lapse of time in reporting your son’s death to you. Confirming letter follows. Mrs. Schultz was notified last January that her son had been missing in action since December 16, but she received no definite word of his death until Monday. Donald was with the 424th infantry regiment and was still in England when the last word was received from him in a letter dated Nov. 23, 1944. Pfc. Schultz was born Sept. 19, 1925, in Chilton. He graduated from Chilton high school with the class of 1943 and enlisted in the army in August, only two months following graduation. He received his basic training at Fort Benning, Ga., and was stationed in Camp Atterbury, Ind., before going overseas. Don spent a few days at his home before leaving the states last October. Survivors are his parents and three sisters, Loa Ann of Fond du Lac; Elaine and Jean of this city. Chilton Times – July 19, 1945.
5. His grave has been adopted by Michel Lorquet, a Belgian teacher.
