In this interview, Rick Render describes the Christmas of 1944, when he spent all day waiting in line to enter a German prison camp.
Render served as an army infantryman in World War II. He was captured during the Battle of the Bulge and taken as a prisoner of war by the Germans. He spent time in prison camps in Nuremberg and Hammelburg, and was liberated in 1945 by his own division.
