Air Mech J.F. McCAFFREY - FAA/FX.7732

I know a difficult question but nevertheless will have this thread on the board:

Who can tell me at what date, on which aircraft, and where 'the late'

Air Mech J.F. ('Frank') McCAFFREY - FAA/FX.7732, was taken into captivity. He was 'a guest' in Stalag IV.B (Mühlberg-Elbe) with PoW-number 12648.

Info desperately needed to research a possible war crime committed to a US-airman in Germany, 1944.

Regards and thanks for your help.
Henk.

Henk,

Assuming that the article describes the same Frank McCaffrey, it so appears that he was taken prisoner as early as 1941 on Crete.

The article is in fact his obituary (died 19 March 2002) and can be found when you scroll down on www.coolrunning.com.au/latestnews/2002_04_01_archive.shtml

Groet,

Leendert
