Question on POW at Stalag Luft IV
I am trying to help a man in Wisconsin who picked up a home-made plaque at a rummage sale. The plaque has a fork and spoon attached with luftwaffe markings, a handmade mirror and a German POW dog tag for prisoner number 3496 at Stalag Luft IV.
Is there a list anywhere which would match the POW number 3496 to a particular American POW? I suspect the man was shot down around September, 1944 by comparing the number to a few other numbers I am aware of. |

Re: Question on POW at Stalag Luft IV
Hello,
I do not know if you have found your man ? But I have two airmen. First one - 19th February 1944 100 Squadron. Lancaster III, ND571. Crew of seven, all became Pow's. F/O. Jack MacLean. MASON J/24482, RCAF had pow number 3496. He was at Stalag Luft Sagan and Bellaria. The second one - 24th March 1944 630 Squadron. Lancaster III, ND657. Crew of seven. Only one survived and became a pow. He was - Flt/Sgt. A. S. LEYVA 1395888, RAF. pow number 3496. He was at Stalag Luft Heydekrug and Stalag Kopernikus. http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=47429 Scroll down to post 8, Leyva's grandson replied to posts. Alex |

Hello,
Something else to consider. Whether there is any connection with the plaque, is anyone's guess: 30/31 March 1944 No.514 Sqn, Waterbeach Lancaster II LL696:JI-A Op: NUREMBERG. T/o 2226 Waterbeach. Believed shot down while on the final leg, by a Ju 88 flown by Fw Emil Nonnemacher, III./NJG2 and crashed near Memmelstedt, 4 km NE from the centre of Bamberg.* Sgt Mackenzie lies in Durnbach War Cemetery. 125519 F/O (Pilot) P J K HOOD - POW - Camp L1 - POW No.4101 1430658 Sgt (Flt.

According to 'Nachtjagd War Diaries' (Dr. Theo Boiten) Fw Nonnemacher, who was actually with 9./NJG2, made no verified claim in that area; however, Lt Achim Woeste, Stab III/NJG3 was credited with an unidentified 4-engined bomber in the Schesslitz area 10 km NE of Bamberg at a time consistent with 514 Sqn aircraft being in the area. It therefore (is) more likely that LL696 was shot down by Lt Woeste. See: Striking Through The Clouds The War Diary of 514 Squadron RAF Hepworth,Simon & Andrew Porrelli.

Re: Question on POW at Stalag Luft IV
Guys, thanks for the suggestions.
It appears to be the case that the Germans assigned sequential numbers at each POW camp. Thus the number "3496" was used at Stalag Luft IV, but also at other POW camps, both those run by the Luftwaffe and at others. I am not sure if at Stalag Luft IV they assigned numbers based on the compound (camp), i.e. could there be a POW in compound A with number 3496 and another in compound B with the same number, etc. I would doubt that is the case. Anyone know for sure? The US POW lists here: https://aad.archives.gov/aad/series-...at=WR26&bc=,sl did try try to record the camp a man was held in, even if in multiple camps, but did they not record the POW number. Using some "advanced search" methods, these records can be searched by month or day of capture and/or by state of residence so they can be of some use. I have found that in some cases, POW numbers were recorded on the "immigration" records at New York harbor when the returning RAMP (Recovered Allied Military Personnel) ship docked. These records can be found on Ancestry but seem to be "searchable" by name only. It is possible to read through the entire records of a particular ship (some of these are hundreds of pages long). I am reasonably sure the man I seek was an American Airman, most likely from the state of Wisconsin (possible Northern Wisconsin where the plaque was found, or an adjacent state, i.e. Michigan or Minnesota). |

Re: Question on POW at Stalag Luft IV
Hello Col,
None of this in regard to Wickson is relevant to the search now as it ihas been decided that it is a USAAF airman that is being sought. So as more than one RAF airman had the same pow number it may be the same with the US airmen ? Alex |

Re: Question on POW at Stalag Luft IV
Stalag Luft IV was predomitaory a US Pow Camp so in all likelhod yes he was American - However I can't find anyone above who is listed at that camp
Also - numbers were by per camp so multiple POW's had same number but at different camps |
Re: Question on POW at Stalag Luft IV
As a guide ?
L4 (Stalag Lift IV) - Sgt B. CONNORS - 1621408 - PoW number was 3828 - Lancaster DV191 EM-Q 207 Sqn Spilsby Loss 14.01.1944 As camp not opened to May 1944 - I would assume a lot of the initial men were transferred on opening? - It looks like initially he was at Stalag Luft 1 before Stalag Luft 4 However, saying that I can find no UK/Canadian etc Pow at Stalag Luft 4 with 3496 so yes very much looks like a US Serviceman |

Re: Question on POW at Stalag Luft IV
Rolland,
With the NARA POW records parameters set on Stalag Luft IV (camp 091) and State of Residence Wisconsin (63) it's narrowed down to 131 names. Regards, Leendert |

Re: Question on POW at Stalag Luft IV
I looked one of these up
Louis Chester Koth 16095608 1944 Stalag But I can't find a PoW number for him and I think that will be a common issue |
Re: Question on POW at Stalag Luft IV
Guys, my current plan is to put in a request to the Red Cross (link was suggested in post #3). They will start taking requests again in a few days. Apparently, they do only so many requests per quarter.
Meanwhile, here is what I have done so far. I have worked through this list of men who returned on the troopship Admiral Benson trying to find POW number 3496 from Stalag Luft 4. For those with Ancestry access this list starts here, page 1 of 355 pages: https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer...pId=3020077370 This Ancestry list is indexed to be searched by name not by POW numbers, so I looked at every page. I decided to concentrate on men with POW numbers between 3450 and 3550 and were held at Stalag Luft 4. You quickly find the Admiral Benson list will sometimes show a different camp than Stalag Luft 4 for the POW, so I looked up anyone with a POW number between 3450 and 3550 and checked what camp shows up for them in the National Archives POW listing. . Sometimes the Admiral Benson will show the Camp as LUFT 4, or L4, sometimes just 4, and sometimes another camp entirely, e.g. 11B, etc. I think some of the camps were camps the Stalag Luft 4 men were evacuated to once Stalag Luft 4 was emptied. On page 106 I found Derwin, Benjamin F ASN: 32730533, who had POW Number 3493. I looked up the MACR for Derwin: https://www.fold3.com/image/28719855 He was shot down September 13, 1944. Note also: on the crew was a Walter G Brand from Wisconsin. For a moment I thought that Walter G Brand was going to be “our” guy then, on page 155, I found POW 3491 Walter G Brand (see Derwin MACR). Some other very close numbers I have found are: Page 178 Jefferson Hulme Dunford ASN: 39921705 Stalag Luft IV POW: 3494 https://www.fold3.com/image/28731357 The MACR for Dunford: https://www.fold3.com/image/28731357 It shows Dunford was also shot down on September 13. No members of the crew were from WI. Page 178 POW number: 3500 Holler, John F 39141373 https://www.fold3.com/image/28697821 Shot down September 13, 1944. No members of the crew from WI but one was from Michigan. Page 297 Gordon, Richard O POW: 3524, ASN: 31257623 https://www.fold3.com/image/28723637 shot down 10 September 1944. No crew members from WI Page 228 Harold Moll H POW: 3539 ASN: 33020321 (from PA) B-17 44-6332, MACR 8361 September 10, 1944 MACR seems to be missing from fold3, but I found: https://b17flyingfortress.de/en/b17/44-6332/ Enlisted POW on crew also at Stalag Luft 4: Robert H Smith 37519666 from MO Frank M Roberson 14038981 from FL It appears that the man we seek, with POW number 3496 would possibly belong to a man who was shot down somewhere from September 10 to September 13 1944 (Plus a few days on each end.) If we restrict ourselves to men from Wisconsin (which may be too limiting), here is the list for all of September. (date of shoot down shows as: day 9 1944) BRAND WALTER George ARMY 13 9 1944 Wisconsin 16024189 BROUETTE HAROLD Lewis ARMY 20 9 1944 Wisconsin 16154881 CHERMACK LEO John ARMY 26 9 1944 Wisconsin 36815267 EISENMAN ARTHUR Francis ARMY 27 9 1944 Wisconsin 16009835 HAYES ROBERT M ARMY 12 9 1944 Wisconsin 16007730 KRAINZ LEO Victor ARMY 25 9 1944 Wisconsin 36834397 MILLER LYLE Francis ARMY 23 9 1944 Wisconsin 36235697 MILLER WILFRED F ARMY 28 9 1944 Wisconsin 36834864 OHDE WILLIAM Martin JR ARMY 12 9 1944 Wisconsin 36814000 OSTROWSKI GEORGE ronald?

I may run the names from Wisconsin and maybe all the enlisted men on the MACRs identified above through Ancestry to see if they show up on some other troopship that listed POW numbers. I already know that not all troopships listed POW numbers, in fact I think most of them did not. These returning POWs were listed as RAMPs in some of the troops ship rosters (Recovered Allied Military Personnel). The Army did try to collect information about POW numbers as can be seen in the document included here on a RAMP registration card. http://www.stalag17b.com/lucky_strik...special%20care. I don't think those cards are accessible if they still exist. Here is an interesting article on RAMP Camp No 1, Camp Lucky Strike and how the system worked for US POWs. https://www.nationalww2museum.org/wa...p-lucky-strike |

Re: Question on POW at Stalag Luft IV
Well, the Red Cross submission window had already opened and closed by the time I got up today. The next submission date is 25 January 2021 at 8:00 (GMT +1). I don't know how many requests they do in a quarter but the Red Cross is probably not going to be of any help. :-(
I also checked with a US commercial provider I have dealt with in the past and he said they could not do it either. Apparently there is no US list or file that contains POW numbers linked to US ASN numbers or names in any accessible order. It is a shame that when Len Rose originally set up his Stalag Luft IV website he didn't try to include POW numbers and ASN numbers, but he was probably doing his work then without computers, just typewritten lists. I don't think his website ever had a "look-up" function into a database of names and numbers. Just before Stalag Luft IV was closed in February, 1945 and the POWs were marched to the west (for the next 3 months), there were about 8,000 US POWs in the camp. Here is the story of one of them, Richard Hansen. The site was set up by Richard's son Jeffery. Richard's story is fairly typical of what the POWs experienced. I assume the man we are looking for had a similar story. http://jefferyhanson.net/wwii/world_war_ii.html Richard also saved his utensils: http://jefferyhanson.net/wwii/pow_souvenirs.html (You can right click on any image and open it in a separate tab then open that tab to get a better view). |
Re: Question on POW at Stalag Luft IV
Hello!
This might also be some long shots but this one also covers USAAF but i don't know in what extent yet. Try contact them. https://www.forces-war-records.co.uk/ I also read this at Bundesarchiv.de "Personal references with respect to former prisoners of war in German custody As a rule documentary evidence on captivity as a prisoner of war is stored in the archives of the soldiers’ home countries; however, the Abteilung PA also keeps documentation on prisoners of war in German custody."

Re: Question on POW at Stalag Luft IV
I have run into some odd connections in my search for POW numbers. Two men with POW numbers close to the number I seek (3496) are Benjamin Derwin at 3493 and Walter Brand at 3491. Both were on the same plane. I have not found the POW numbers for any of the other enlisted men in that crew.
The MACR for the loss (B-17 44-8166 , shot down 13 September 1944) is here: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/91058531 One member of the crew was William N Hess, 18210045. According to the US national archives, Hess was also at Stalag Luft IV, but I have not found his POW number. William N Hess wrote a great many aviation books after the war. https://ospreypublishing.com/william-n-hess https://www.thriftbooks.com/a/william-n-hess/423315/ In searching on his name I came across this photo of him: http://www.americanairmuseum.com/media/11982 Note it is his serial number, but the photo is supposedly dated October, 1944, I think in error as he was a POW by then. Hess died in 2019: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/...am-nelson-hess |
Re: Question on POW at Stalag Luft IV
Hello Rolland,
Just a thought. The numbers "44-10" Is it possible that the photo was taken in the USA after completion of training perhaps Class 10, 1944 ??? It certainly could not have been taken in October '44 as you say he was already a pow then. Unless it was taken by his captor's then then the "44-10" would be possible and the following number "256" may have been a temporary pow number prior to arriving at a Camp ? Having said that he looks remarkably clean and tidy for it to have been posts capture . Alex |
Re: Question on POW at Stalag Luft IV
Alex, I think you are right. The picture of Hess is most likely a graduation photo, maybe from a flexible gunnery school, class of 44-10. 256 is probably just a sequence number for the photographer.

Re: Question on POW at Stalag Luft IV
I'd go with that, makes since.
In regard to the pow number looks like you are very close. Several from the same crew with close numbers. Also other 97BG losses that date were - 44-6354 macr 8953 44-6265 macr 8730 - All crew Killed. 42-97648 macr 8729 44-6274 macr 8954 MACR 8953 5 Crew Killed. So only need to look at - Krazowski ,Pace, Gruso, Banks. MACR 8729 6 Crew Killed. So only need to look at - Lent, Young, Bennett, Talley. MACR 8954 4 Crew Killed So only need to look at - Shelton, Barr, Sherbanov, Clifton, Arney, Lucas. MACR 8726 You have looked at this crew. |
Re: Question on POW at Stalag Luft IV
Didn't find any other from Wisconsin in the MACR as Alex reported, on Stalag Luft 4
MACR 8953 GROSE CLAUDE V JR ASN 34607934 North Carolina Stalag Luft 4 Gross-Tychow MACR 8954 ARNEY ATHEL V 39696579 California Stalag Luft 4 Gross-Tychow But MACR 8726 Stalag Luft 4 KNOBLOCK BRUCE D O-440048 Wisconsin Stalag Luft 4 Gross-Tychow and MC FADDEN ROY J 14183446 South Carolina Stalag Luft 4 Gross-Tychow Regards JohanSWE |
Re: Question on POW at Stalag Luft IV
ARNEY ATHEL V was POW 3323 in Stalag Luft 4. He returned on the Monticello on June 3, 1945. Note his POW number 173 “steps” lower than the man we seek even though he was shot down on September 13, 1944.
KNOBLOCK BRUCE D was an officer and was held in Stalag Luft I. POW 5698. He returned Jun 12, 1945 on the Admiral Benson. GROSE CLAUDE V JR cannot find a return ship. MC FADDEN ROY J cannot find a return ship. Hold off on submitting names, I am going to see if I can generate a list of possible names to check directly from the National Archives POW file. You can select names by Camp and Date. It looks like the camp codes used for Stalag Luft IV are 091, 034 or 035. Dates around 13 September might be from 11 September 44 to 15 September 44 (I need to decide on a range). I will keep you posted. |
Re: Question on POW at Stalag Luft IV
Just looking through the made targets.
8345 and 8726 were both Bleckhammer, while 8824 is said to be Merseburg. Wondering if the pow numbers are linked in some way to where the men were detained rather than which camp they were in ? Have not looked at other Groups but all the 5th BW target for the 13th was Blechhammer. |
Re: Question on POW at Stalag Luft IV
As far as ships used for the return of POWs and others, here is information for 1945.
