106 Infantry Division (USA) Commander Charles C. Cavender was ordered in Bad Orb to give list with Jews when they were POW in Hammelburg. His own officers refused to cooperate.

During the Battle of the Bulge, Cavender's regiment was surrounded by German forces and the 423rd was forced to surrender to the enemy on December 19th, 1944. In order to save the lives of his men, Cavender surrendered alongside with the soldiers of his regiment and marched up to Germany, where he was interned in Oflag XIIIC, Hammelburg.

On the 19th of December the ammunition reserves for the two Regiments were exhausted and the commanders, Col. Descheneaux and Col. Cavender decided that further fighting would do more harm than good. To save what was left of their men, they gave up the remainders of their Regiments. Over 7000 men of the 106th went into German captivity and would spend the duration of the war in a series of POW camps. The 106th Division had been on the line for only five days.
