Re: Tortured P-38 pilot in Sardinia

FYI -- The POW record has the name as Thorman R Nielson, O-732320 (not Nielsen), but he was POW and did return to the US.

The other two listed as POWs appear to be correct and both did return to the US.

The MACR for Crichton is interesting in that it contains many untranslated pages in both German and Italian. The claim is he burned up in his plane when it crashed. It may mean nothing and I have not had time to read/translate the pages to see if something else is being discussed.
