Our library here in Memphis had a laminated copy of the Barth Hard

In looking for the internet copy I happened upon your website! I sent my
dad a link and he has spent hours upon hours going through it. Growing
up my father was like so many others. He only scratched the surface when
it came to talking about his experiences in WWII. It's only over the
past couple of years that he has started talking about his experiences
publicly and in more detail. He has been trying to publish a book. I
think he is now able to talk about it because several years ago he made
contact with the families of the young men who perished when his plane
was shot down. He is donating some back pay to charities of their choice
in their fallen young man's name. It's like a big load has been lifted
off of his shoulders!! We are very proud of Dad and your dad and all of
the others for what they have given up so we can be free today!!! Thank
you for this wonderful website!!

To Robert Harris I see that you were in North 3, etc., the only

Did you , by any chance know Roy Shoaf? He kind of stood out in a crowd
as he was fully 6'4" tall with raven black hair and dark brown eyes with
black eyebrows and he was very slender, even just after he was shot
down, which was in mid to late 1944, he was from Kansas, plated the
cornet (a kind of a trumpet) I would add he was very smart, but If I'm
not mistaken, all you flying officers, and non-coms WERE very bright ,
otherwise they wouldn't have let you fly those planes! He was a B17
pilot. Oh, and when something tickled his fancy, he had rather a
distinctive laugh, almost, dare I say it, a giggle; I CAN say that if
you heard him laugh, it made you want to laugh too. Does this ring any
bells with you (or any one else reading this?) If anyone remembers him I

My father was Roy Shoaf, pilot of a B17, planes' name was Shaharazod
(though I'm definitely making up the spelling of that word!) He was shot
down sometime in 44, and lived in North 3 Compound, Barrack 5, room 5.
He came home to Kansas and became a doctor, rejoining the service (now
of course the USAF) in '52 to take his internship, but rejoined the
civilian world after that. After spending a year or 2 as a GP he went
back to school in'56 and did his residency in OB/GYN at Cook County
hospital in Chicago and from there we moved to Alhambra,then San
Marino,Ca. He married Mom, Ruthie Marsh in 48, and I was born in '50,
Katy in '53. We struggled in the early years but he was really good at
everything he did so eventually things improved. Daddy being the kind of
person he was, was pres. of his frat & of the frat council at KU, and
also was one of the top college tennis players of the country in 47 &
48. Actually he was annoyingly good at everything he did.(one of the
family stories is the time he refinished a coffee table putting 27 coats
of Deft on it) He died of cancer in 82 he was 59. I would very much like
to hear from anyone who knew him at the camp, or in England, a
contemporaries view of him is so very different from a daughters. Thanks

This was the 15th AC, 463 BG, 775 BS. Allyn's Irish Orphans. On this
flight the plane that Cpl. Quntin John Del Vecchio, tail gunner flew on
crashed on a beach in Yugoslavia and were captured by Germans. He was a
POW for 9 days and then freed by Romanian locals who over come the
Germans. This was the only plane on this mission to not return. I am
trying to find anyone that knew of this mission. Daily Morning List
Records seem to have been lost This man is trying to get his ribbons and
medals due him, but he can't prove this without other people that can
verify this mission. It would seem that if a large amount of planes went
on this mission and were able to all return except one you would think

My good friend, Herb Schlicker was a POW in Stalag Luft I. He was my
first flight instructor in 1967 and I'm now retired from the airlines.
We were close friends for many years until his death in the late 1990's.
He shared many stories about his war & POW experiences and I'm forever
grateful. He was a B-17 commander and was shot down on his 9th mission
in early 1944. A friend of mine who's father was in the same camp sent
me this website. Thank you so much for maintaining such a great tribute
to these brave men. Tom Taylor

My father, a Private with the 51st Highland Light Infantry, was captured
at Tobruk. At some point he was in Italian hands, but was helped by
Italian families in a place called Sulmona (I am not sure if he was
imprisoned there) but eventually arrived at Stalag VIIA around 1942
until the end of the war.

Dec. 21, 1955, and liberated in April of 1945. He kept a journal of his
overseas "life", and his life as a Prisoner of War. I would like to put

will be 81 this month, his memory has "dimmed" over the years, but he
still can recall many details of his War days while fighting to help
preserve America's freedom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What an incredible site and testimony to heroes to whom we owe so much.
I found the site while searching family history, knowing that my
paternal family line came from Krems in the 1920's, later the location
of Luft Stalag 17. My father, Frank Kremm, and my father-in-law, Harold
Millward, both served in the US Navy in the Pacific Theater. In my
generation, 4 of 5 served in the Navy during the Vietnam Era..but it was
the sacrifices of a generation before that even permitted that service.
I am constantly amazed by the strength of character and the
determination of those that served during the great wars, and feel
indebted and fortunate that they answered a call that spelled death,
pain and suffering for so many. Good Bless and thank you all! Thank you,
too, for this site and the information that it makes available to those
who may recognize it as why they even have the freedom to read what it
contains.

Guy Hinde (my father in law) was a Rhodesian pilot who flew with the RAF

not know which barracks. After the war he returned to Africa, married a
pretty ballerina, fathered two sons and became the Chairman of the
Rhodesian Sugar Refineries. Guy is now 82 years old, a widower and
despite the political turmoil, still ives in Zimbabwe. If you remember
Guy and would like to contact him please email me at
