Summary Charles Holcomb, 92, of Helena spent 11-and-a-half months as a POW in German prison camp during WWII, after his B-24 bomber that was shot down. As a prisoner of WWII, he was taken in the forced "Death March Across Germany" which many did not make it through. He barely survived starvation and frostbite through the harsh conditions of winter in Germany. He slept in the snow, enduring dysentery and illness, at times so sick he couldn't walk, losing 50 pounds and weighing just over 100, barely alive at the end.
