Re: German and US POW aviators defect/escape together?
The Germans were taken into captivity and Partisans promised to the American airmen that they will treat them well. If they actually did so, who knows... The Americans were quickly evacuated to Italy. A friend of mine mentioned recently that he found their escape statement. If you wish I can get you in touch with him. The aircraft was eventually dismantled and repaired and was in use by Yugoslav AF after the war.
Cheers,
Boris
