Description from the seller
Unique and fully documented World War II set of Sergeant Arthur J. Feiertag, medic of the 331st Medical Battalion, 106th Infantry Division ('Golden Lions').
The holiday was taken prisoner during the Ardennes Offensive and ended up in Stalag IV-B Mühlberg, one of the largest German prisoner-of-war camps. His captivity lasted from December 21, 1944, to May 19, 1945.
Arthur J. Feiertag (born November 5, 1922) served as:
