My father was shot down in March 1945. He was a POW and took part in the Long March. He escaped briefly and was recaptured by a local farmer who handed him and two other back to the German military. The first Allies they saw on liberation were a convoy of Americans with Patton in the lead jeep, who announced he was there to liberate them.
I have his log book. He was shot down on his 19th mission.
