Hello Theo,
I see that this question has not yet been resolved, your post on the RAF Commands Forum, circa 2014 had a nil responce.
I fully expect that you have done your research thoroughly.
So just to perhaps refresh memories.
In all 16 Halifax bombers were lost.
Tony Woods file for this night.
11 Halifax claims were claimed.

There would usually be an MACR for any American serviceman lost, but as he was pow, then as far as RAF were concerned he was not "lost" so the Americans would not perhaps have been made aware of his circumstances ?
All for now
Apologies in advance for any typo/spelling errors
