Manhattan resident, Jim Sharp served as sergeant of the guard at German's Nuremberg prison during Adolf Hitler's notorious crime trails. Sharp was responsible for supervising guards at the prison that housed Nazi criminals during the 1945 through 1946 war crime trails.

Years later, Sharp was contacted to verify a cell door from Nuremberg prison, that now is housed at the 1st Infantry Division Museum at Fort Riley. The cell door will be displayed Saturday, Feb. 13, at the Kansas Chapter of the Battle of the Bulge reunion.

WWII veterans and friends are invited to attend the Battle of the Bulge reunion from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13, at American Legion located on 114 McCall Road in Manhattan, Kan. Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m.

The reunion will include a free lunch to WWII Battle of the Bulge veterans, courtesy of The American Legion Riders. Cost for non-veterans is $10 a person for lunch.

Additionally, Saturday’s reunion will include a presentation over the history of Nuremberg trials and the cell door. There will also be a panel discussion over the Battle of the Bulge by veterans Julian Siebert, Malcolm Strom, Wallace Jeffrey and Jim Sharp. The panel discussion will conclude with a  question-and-answer session.
