I have a question: Was the person captured, perhaps a member of the 34th Infantry??

: My father was captured at Kasserine on Valentine's Day 1943. He was taken to Stalag 7A and then moved to Stalag 3A and 3C. He was moved by train;place in a cattle car w/o toilet facility. He went for days w/o water and was given little food. They let them out once a day for water. All prisoners on the train had to drink from one faucet, and the Germans only gave them 30 minutes to do this. They used their helmets for toilets.

Spammers do this with automated "bots" that constantly search the Web looking for e-mail addresses. Since you're a human being, not a bot, you can easily obtain the real address by removing the text that says "ThisisToPreventSpam-XYZ-RemoveThis." including the random number XYZ and the period at the end. For example, <whitten@ThisIsToPreventSpam-123-RemoveThis.despammed.com> would become <chris-(@)-interesting.com>.
