Recently while moving my mother into assisted living,(my dad died in 1983) my siblings and I began cleaning out her house. I came across the book, Behind Barbed Wire, by Morris J. Roy. I was fascinated by the book and even more shocked to see my dad's name in the listing under North Compound II (Pennsylvania, Sullivan,J.M.Lt;B;B-17, 4418 Lancaster Ave, Philadelphia)After a google search for MorrisJ.Roy, I stumbled onto your web site. I must say it is impressive. My siblings and I grew up as military "brats" as our dad went back into the Air Force sometime around 1947. We were more aware of his life in the POW camp because of his career, yet he seldom spoke of his WWII experiences. We do have a log of his captivity and it is something I love reading whenever I can. A highlight of the log is his description of his last mission. I read with interest your father's description of his last mission. I am impressed with the amount of information you uncovered about his crew on the 29th mission. My brother recently made contact with a former crewman on my dad's ill-fated B-17 and relayed the conversation to me about a year ago of the last mission. With time, I hope to research more of the experiences of "All the Fine Young Men," including my father. One thing of curiosity, I failed to see J.M.Sullivan's name in the listings by barracks. I can only assume that the list is only partly accurate given the size of the population of POW's and the movement within the camp of many of them. If this message is read by anyone who may know the location of his barracks or room, please let me know. Gene Sullivan

To Roger Von Zemke: I was a POW in Stalag Luft One when Hub Zemke was Senior Allied Officer. I and 9,000 other kriegie owe a lot to your namesake. His skill in dealing with our German captors and later the Russians did much to improve conditions and get us out of there and home! I met him at an Eighth Air Force meeting in Las Vegas, where he was a featured speaker. When he learned that I was a fellow kriegie, he spent fifteen minutes recalling with me what we went through. I'm rereading his two books and am more impressed with him as a leader than ever. Regards, Bruce Bockstanz

Hi there Beeing a Swede i dont have any relatives that i know took a part in the war, exept for guard duties in the Swedish army. I just want to say, that the effort that was made by the Allied comrades to fight of the Nazi´s is not forgotten even by countries and generations that didn´t go to war. I for one feel a big respect for those who sacrificed so much for others, and future generations to come, what would the world have been, if the English with the commonwealht, and later on the U.S wouldn´t have stood up for democracy?! I hope those who writes and wonders of their relatives that went to war and didn´t talk about it, feels that the gratitude to their "Boys" goes through them, and where is is supposed to ! I hope this wasn´t just confusing, it´s easy to blunder up in another language.

My dad passed in January 1976. He rarely talked of the war or his time as POW. My mother made a shadowbox of his insignia and I would like to send it. He was in the Stalag Luft 1 and has a patch in the shadowbox (the only reason I know about it and the way I found this site) She also put a picture of his crew in it. He was bombadier in B-17 with Square A on tail. His Pilot was an O'Hara and he is buried in Germany somewhere. Somehow this O'Hara was connected to the Dr. Pepper Plant in Dallas. My dad went to Bombadier school at Millington Naval Air Station in Memphis, TN where he met my mother in 1942. They were married in July 1945. He had a book with drawings in it about the prison camp. He said he was prisoner for 3 years so he must have been shot down early on. Don't know his plane name or number. I watch old war movies looking for his squadron (Square A) but it seems they always use the Triangle A for the planes in the movies - sometimes they slip and let something else in. His POW mug shot looks like Stalin. Don't have a copy of it. Any information would be appreciated.

Glad to see someone has worked so hard to create a rememberence to these men. My father was captured soon after arriving overseas and spent the remainder of the war in a POW camp. The one story I can remember him telling is of when the German soldiers wives would have a baby, they would say hotsy totsy another little Nazie. The Oklahoma men would reply in turn with okie dokie, another little Okie. My father was John Marion Kilcreae of Graham, OK. Would love to hear from anyone who might have known him. Johnnie

I found this site from an individual from Poland who said he got my address from this site. Since I've been getting a number of SCAM messages I thought I would check it out, I was certainly surprosed to see what is there. I still don't know who put my name and E-mail address in. Incidently, I was a POW during WWII having been captured in Tunisia, North Africa by elements of the great General Rommel. I spent 27 months as a guest of the German people and I use the term "guest" loosely. I intend to see if I can find the names of any other former POWs that may have been in Stalag III-B, where I spent most of my two years as a POW, or in Stalag VII-A or Stalag III-A. I'll sign off for now and do some more searching.

Inquiring about British royalty infantry prisoner of war, specifically/foxhole related...possibly never returned to homeland. Did the British fight in Germany? Wondering if this prisoner of war was in Germany in WWI. It sounds so terribly elementary and silly but I had a photo in my sleep one night of a male who is Anglo, slender, hair parted to the right, wavy kind of like Ashley Wilkes actor in Gone with the Wind movie, blue eyes, light complected but not with freckled, kind of a Prince Charles frame in a suit that was tannish/light khaki green with pockets and formal suit of military long sleeves in a library or a large castle room with very large ceilings..I suspected this was the person..but I am not sure..related to a Prussian princess, late 30's to 40's ..didn't quite get the feeling he was married, slender and tall at least 5 ft 10 inches, small soft facial features, serious and quiet personality but not very approachable to commoners but not rude nor arrogant but quite intelligent and loyal, sincere person, a gentleman, no doubt.
