Thanks for bringing that article to my attention. I identified the Lt. Herrington quoted in it by searching for his aircraft. “Garbage.” They were both from the 303rd Bombardment Group. I notified the webmaster from that outfit’s website and sent him a link to today’s post. Maybe he will stop by for a look.

I also found that article very interesting. I was not aware there were any prisoner swaps during WWII. It sounds as if it was for grave medical cases who presumably would not rejoin the fighting?

The Russians have every reason to be pissed. The level of brutality on that front to both soldiers and civilians still sickens me.
