Food Main Topic of Darwin
Wissenback's Letter Homo
From German Prison Camp
"Boy! When I get home am I
going to eat!"
Food was mentioned frequent
ly In the two letters which have
reached Mr. and Mrs. James
Wissenback of Shady Pine from
their son, Darwin, now a prison
er of war in Germany. This !s
one of the first, if not the first,
letters received directly in Klam
ath Falls from prison camp.
Darwin's first letter was writ
ten December 29, from Dulag
Luft. In this letter he writes:
. "I imagine by no-st you know
I am a prisoner of war. Now
don't worry about me, I'm well
and we are treated pretty good,
get enough food and have plenty
of warm clothes. The Red Cross
sees to that. I was shot down
December 20 near Paris, France.
I parachuted out and landed OK
except for a couple of broken
ribs and a shot in the arm. Oh!
just a nick. It's practically well
now. Ribs are a little sore yet,
but theyill be all right soon.
"I may not.be here long, I
think you can get In touch with
the Red Cross and find out
where I am, then you can send
me a package. I need a razor,
toothbrush, toothpaste, sox,
shirts and chocolate candy. I
won't be able to write as. often
as I did as we are only allowed,
to write a limited amount. Sure
hope I get a letter from you soon.
Hope you had a nice Christmas
cutive secretary, in Los Angeles,
of the Woodcraft League of
America.
and I am wishing you happy
New Year. Love, Darwin."
In the second note, Darwin
writes that he has been trans
ferred to Stalag.
"I am well and getting along
OK. The Red Cross gives us
clothes to wear. If you send m
a clothing parcel, I could use
some sox and razor, towels,
etc. Don't send anything ex
pensive as It takes long time
for parcels to get her and
chances are I might not get
them. Above all I hope you
send me some chocolate, cig
arettes and things to eat. Boy!
when I get home am I going to
eat. When you don't get things
to eat that you are used to having
you sure do miss them.
"Don't know how long I will
be at this camp. Hope not long;
There are rumors that w might
move to an American prison
camp. Don't worry too much
about me. . I will write as often
as I can. Writ soon. Love,
Darwin."
