Re: The One Who got Away

You might want to read "The One That Got Away" by Kendal Burt and James Leasor, published by Collins in 1956. It's a good read, and the film starring Hardy Krueger is also good fun. Von Werra was a good friend of my uncle, who was CO of 9. JG 3 during the Battle. They had many good times at the casino, and probably got along well because both were pretentious. The other officer you're thinking of might be Ulrich Steinhilper, author of "Ten Minutes to Buffalo" and an inveterate escaper.
