Russian and American POW story
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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGwZ0pakhHE http://www.friends-partners.org/part...ope/stalag.htm Kuralt's version of his meeting with Aseyev (from Karalt's book "A Life On The Road"): https://www.warriorforum.com/off-top...forgotten.html or here as a pdf: https://cpb-us-e1.wpmucdn.com/sites....ed-1ixiwbs.pdf Some of the other people mentioned in the story: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/...clark-brockman https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/.../peter-wowczuk https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/...ichael-wowczuk https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/...m-elias-jarema (The Americans were captured in Tunisia (not Tobruk) and were held in Stalag 3B (not Stalag Luft 3). https://aad.archives.gov/aad/record-...pg=1&rid=47928 https://aad.archives.gov/aad/record-...pg=1&rid=25963 Last edited by RSwank; 21st June 2021 at 19:33. |

Re: Russian and American POW story
Despite governments, the American and Russian people are friends.
