Subject: WWII Veteran of the 3rd Infantry Division

Comments: I am searching for information or anyone who may have served with my late uncle. His name is Oscar Holderfield from Courtland, Alabama. I believe he entered the Army in 1944. I know from talking to him years ago that he was an enlisted man and part of Operation Dragoon, the 1944 invasion of Southern France in WW2. He was a POW, captured by the Germans in Alsace-Lorraine, France probably Jan. ’45 during the German counterattack, Operation Nordwind, was moved about as the Allies advanced and the German retreated in and finally ended up in Czechoslovakia where he was liberated by Soviet troops. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Randy

Thank you all for your detailed replies! I’m going to call my dad to confirm that Uncle Oscar used his middle name which I suspect is true since it seems to be a family thing and confirm his first name. The only other information I have is he mentioned being around Strasburg as where he was when captured and that he was a machine gunner, so I suspect he was in a weapons platoon and part of a machine gun crew. I don’t believe he was called up until 1944 so he would not have been in earlier campaigns of the 3rd ID. I also believe, but this is based on my family legend and not confirmed, was that he may have been listed as MIA. My family says he just came walking up to the house one day after the war. No one expected him. they all thought he had been killed. If that’s true, what a wonderful day that must have been!
Thanks again for you guidance and interest!
Randal J. Holderfield

Randy,
I have found a Curtis O. Holderfield who was a Private in the 30th Infantry Regiment. It is not indicated that he was a POW in the published Division WWII History, so I cannot be sure whether this is your uncle or not. What other information do you have on your uncle?
