Aaron Goettel Revives Hope for War Prisoner Son
Associated Press dispatches yesterday, stating that Larry Allen, famed AP war correspondent and Pulitzer prize winner, was among the prisoners of war exchanged between the Germans and Allies recently, revived hopes of Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Goettel, 420 E. Fifth street, that their son Wesley might be included among the 900 Americans listed in the exchange.
Wesley Goettel was taken prisoner by the Italians during a commando raid north of Rome, Italy, over a year ago. For a time his parents received weekly letters from him while a prisoner of the Italians, but later when he was transferred to the prisoner-control of the Germans, his letters ceased coming to Blue Earth. It has been eight months since the parents heard from him directly.
A close friend of Wesley's, George Enser of Walters, was taken prisoner on the same commando raid. Some time ago young Enser wrote his sister in Walters that he had had "nine days of freedom," but that he was once again a prisoner of the Germans.
