208445 1st Lt. Arnold Paul "A.P." Martin US Army Air Force 548th Bomb Squadron from:Sacramento, CA My father, Arnold P. Martin, was a B-17 co-pilot. The crew was ordered to abandon ship, Miss Nonalee II because of the loss of one engine over Denmark on the way to the Marienburg mission of October 9th, 1943. He was sent to Stalag Luft III, and was on the forced march of January 1945 to Moosburg. He was liberated April 29, 1945 by Patton's Army. He is not listed as a POW at Stalag Luft III in the National Archives. I have tried in vain to have him added because I have all the proof that he was there. However, I have been referred to agency after agency, all who tell me they don't have authority to do so.
