Re: Doc McLeod - Sicily to France
Henk, the 3 Sqn RAAF ORB is available online if you're interested, see the post 'RAF and RAAF ORB available online' here.
I have another suggestion for the presence of McLeod in Istres. As Germans were planning for an action against Italy in case it shitfed sides, or at least tried to get out of war, it is possible that part of their actions were to fly out POWs from Italy to France rather than sending them northwards by train. Another possibility was that the southern Italy's railway network was badly disrupted at the time, and so POWs were flown out when possible. Does anybody have testimonies of other RAF or US airmen captured at this time ?
