Adalbert Ludwig Preuss was born in Schneidemuhl, Grenzmark, Posen-Westprusen, Germany to Julius Emil and Hedwig Schuster Preuss on September 17, 1908. An older brother, Robert was born in 1890 in the same town. Little is known about his life and some of the information is taken from the Iowa Armed Forces Grave Registration.
July 15, 1927 is listed as age 18 and a passenger from Hamburg to the US aboard the SS Hamburg ship. No other family was with him and his occupation was farm laborer. However, it does list his father as Julius and his brother as Robert (141438340) for reference as closest relatives.
He was listed as a prisoner of war in Germany, and on August 11, 1944 he was either returned to military control, liberated, or repatriated. The file is not particularly explicit about his rank or participation. It also says his branch was either immaterial/infantry division, Band/Dental, or Corps/Medical Department.
Having been born in Germany, it must have been unusual to go to war against the country. He apparently recognized Germany's errors.
