I'm interested in finding information about a German POW housed presumably in the Rayne camp who worked on/for my grandfather Mr. Isaac Sonnier in the Rayne area. His name I am told was Richard Lang. Timeline would have been 1944 - 1945. Any information about this gentleman or lead on German POWs would be greatly appreciated.
