Russian and American POW story

[RSwank]

I found this interesting old story on youtube. I don't think it has been mentioned here before. This Reagan/Gorbachev meeting took place in Moscow between May 29 and June 3, 1988. Charles Kuralt was a well known journalist for CBS News and he did a series of “Human Interest” stories called “On the Road” for many years.

(The Americans were captured in Tunisia (not Tobruk) and were held in Stalag 3B (not Stalag Luft 3).

Despite governments, the American and Russian people are friends.
