Ep 25 - Edgar Kuhlow: He is Going to Stay Laying Here in Germany

Sick with malaria, on a 150-200 mile, three week forced march from one German POW camp to another, Edgar Kuhlow heard one German guard talking about him to another guard - Daah blibt heea in Deutschland leigen (He is going to stay laying here in Germany). Having already survived brutal combat at Anzio and in southern France, as well as seven months of incarceration as a POW, Edgar Kuhlow was determined to survive and prove the German guard wrong. This podcast tells Edgar Kuhlow’s harrowing story.
