currently over 9400 on my list. I am listing such information as Name,

Squadron, Serial #, POW #, Compound(s), Room(s), and a notes section for
interesting information on each man. I have over 1400 POW ID#�s so far

never touched again the rest of his life. He died of cancer almost 14

My father was a POW in Barth Germany at Stalug Luft I, he was a
navigator on a B-17. He got shot down, bailed out, the plane did
continue to fly into Switzerland. I was a post war baby, my brother was
born and over a year old when my Dad came home. MY Dad was a POW for 18
months, and he was never the same after that experience. I really think
the USA should take better care of their service men who go to war and
the unfortunate ones who are and were POW's!! My Mother would send
parcels through the Red Cross, they got there, but my Dad did see
anything except the cigarettes, which he did use for a potato or maybe a
piece of meat. He did have a journal, what was written, was pages and
pages of "Things I like to eat" I'm writing this, because maybe someone
