Good Monday morning to all! Time for the 90th Infantry Division Pic of the Week. This Monday we venture to Metz, France in late September 1944.
Polish soldier, Miegbysav Mrozek (spelling), captured early on by the Nazis, tells Captain Herbert Ochmiche (spelling) of the 358th Infantry, 90th Infantry Division, of his experiences as a POW. Mrozek was freed by the 90th ID on their march toward Metz, France. He thereafter helped the unit with the handling of German prisoners.
