Re: Evasion of H. Theobald from RAF 253 Sqn

Schenck,
Great to hear from you!

I have managed to find so far some 130 RAF, SAAF etc Escape statements from Yugoslavia. I estimate there were some 200 evaders total, so it is some 2/3 of all.
I found them on two places, in MAAF archives, and in one MIS-X reel.
Some hardly readable. There were also reports from the field that some airmen were safe with Allied missions.

Those archives contain some kind of selection of Escape statements, and sometimes not all pages from individual reports.
In case of US Airmen, there were selection of reports in MAAF archives and in XV archive, but I managed to find remaining reports in separate groups archives.

I assume that there must be similar system with RAF archives, but so far no one knows where reports of smaller units are kept.
