Allied commanders announced the liberation of more than 2 500 000 refugees and prisoners of war since entering Germany. In the Moosburg area 130 000 prisoners including 37 000 Americans and 14 891 Army personnel were freed from Stalag 7 A and nearby camps. The camp was well organized under Col Paul R.
