Re: Interesting P-38 pilot mystery ...
I recall hearing in Voice of America, I think between 1986 and 1988, that some 12,000 American and British PoWs were interned by Soviets and never returned. Apparently both governments were fully awared of this situation after one British PoW escaped from Odessa area, but did not react in order to not to spoil relations with the Soviet Union.
Also I have heard somewhat first hand that eg. PoWs from Barth were considered some sort of hostages and were allowed to return only after Soviet PoWs had been returned back.
I am deeply disgusted that both governments do not press on Russia to finally solve those mysteries as well as the ones from the Cold War.
