My father kept a journal of his time as a prisoner. In addition to comments on food, sports, war progress, mail, etc. he did some drawings and wrote several poems describing combat in a B-17 and life as a POW. He was a navigator. His plane was shot down on his 13th mission in the summer of 1944 while on a bombing mission to Leipzig. Only one other crew member survived.  

Victor passed away on 12 December, 2009. 

my Dad was a pow during WWII. Shot down and had to bail out at Amsterdam but couldn't go with the underground because he broke a bone in his leg. I believe the pilot was shot and he ended up at Barth, Germany pow camp Stalag Luft I and I believe he was in Group V. He talked about a Col Zemke in his diary. Dad passed away in 1985 from Cancer. He wrote several poems , one being about the day they were shot down, entitled "Our Last Trip".

Luft I is a long time ago. I just finished a book about my shoot down,capture, Etc. Came across your web site and thought I would contact you.

My father serve in the 134th Infantry Regiment 35th Div. He was captured in France during or just after the battle of St Lo, France. Looking for any information I knowning what battles he was in and his POW Life

My father was a pow at Stalag Luft 4. I am seeking additional information from those that were at this camp during WW2.

I am trying to get info.  If anyone can help please. 

My step father, Edward Webb "Bud" Lottich was a B-24 Bombardier who was interned at Stalag Luft III from May (I think of 1944) until the move to Stalag Luft VII-A in January of 1945.

My father was captured at the Battle of the Bulge and was moved across Germany, getting medical treatment at Seigberg Monastery and was liberated on April 8, 1945 from a labor camp.  I am trying to find which labor camp but am not having much luck.  If anybody knows a similar story please contact me.

My father, MILTON WILLIAM GRAYSON, was a 2st Lieutenant and navigator in the USAF. He was shot down close to the Mosel River in Germany, and became a POW in Stalag 7A.  If you remember him, I'd love to hear from you.

I am looking to contact anyone who may have been in Stalag 2b with my grandfather, Paul E. Gibson from Rogersville, Tennessee.  He learned to speak German while in the camp from an officer named Otto.  When they were on the march out of the camp after learning of Allied forces coming, Otto told my grandfather "if you get the chance to escape, take it.  When we get to where we are going, they will kill you."  My father and 2 others took their chance when bombers flew overhead.  While the prisoners hit the ditch to take cover, my grandfather hit the ditch and kept running.  If anyone has any photos, information about the camp, or information about Otto the guard, please let me know.  Also if you or a family member remember my grandfather or recognize his name, I would love to be contacted.  Thank you and God Bless all of those who never made it home

I am one of Willard Hadjes' 5 daughters. I would love to hear from anyone who was in one of the POW camps with my father, or anyone who knew of him from their father's stories. Willard Hadjes was part of the great march in the winter from stalag 13. The germans marched the prisoners 100 through snow and ice and then loaded them in cattle train cars to another camp to try and keep them from being liberated by the Russians. They were finally liberated by Pattons' troops. If anyone has any information about these events or camps I would like to hear from you.

My grandfather was shot down over southern Germany and taken to the POW camp. He was born in Alabama but lived in Texas before and after the war.

Great informative sight, I wish I could add some information for others...but don't have any "news"
