Biographical History
Pechmann (b. March 1, 1922), was born in Kuhnern in Silesia, Germany (now Poland). He was drafted into the German Army in 1941 and served on the Russian front during World War II. He was captured by the British Army in 1943 and held in American POW camps in Illinois and Wisconsin until the war was over. In 1952, Pechmann and his wife immigrated to the United States, settling first in Lodi then in Madison (Wisconsin). A granite-cutter by trade, Pechmann has been active in creating memorials and monuments throughout Wisconsin honoring American veterans.
