Bio:
Fred P. (Paul) Dallas was an Army Veteran of WWII who now lives with his
wife Doris in Fayetteville N.C. Fred was a Cpl. with the 45th Inf.
Division when he was captured at Mulhouse, France on November 28, 1944.
He was 20 years old and weighed 165 pounds when the Germans ran over his
infantry company in an open field in Southern France. He was sent
to a forced labor camp and was a resident in Stalag 7-A, 4-B. When
liberated by the Russians May 5th 1945 (after only 6 months) Paul
weighed only 95 pounds. Fred P. Dallas was awarded the Bronze
Star, POW Medal, Combat Inf. Badge and the Good Conduct Medal. Fred
recuperated in Army and VA Hospitals for 6 months after returning to the
States.
After the war Paul was employed with the City of Fayetteville, NC with
the Public Works Commission for over 30 years. "I worked in
management and with people problems. And I hope that I made a
difference."
