Re: U.S. POW- Assistance to locate a building in West Germany.

One crewman of this crew was subject of a war crime report. MACR 15568 - 42-5130 306 BG - pilot Ryan 1 killed, 1 evader, 8 pow.

Re: U.S. POW- Assistance to locate a building in West Germany.
Hi Alex,
It is serial-number 42-5130 belonging to 306 BG. Another airman escaped along with Capt. Ryan, but - after 11 months - he was captured... and sent for 6 months in this building/jail (see the attached pictures). Best regards, Frederic
