My father was a member of the RCAF, 408 Squadron. His plane was shot down and he was taken prisoner.
The only information I have is the incident report of 2357 Hrs 1/1/44 when LLC631 EQ-G was hit.
My father S R Sweetzir was in Stalag 357. There were more than one of these as the records show two locations. Kopernikus and Oerbke?
Would like to touch base with other offspring of the surviving aircrew. My father was the tailgunner,so I am living proof the Luftwaffe didn\'t get them all!
He never spoke of his ordeal.
Also,I don\'t know what the two bars on his Europe Aircrew Medal were for?
Fascinating stuff!
cheers,
Peter Sweetzir
