A couple of years ago, a flyer from my home town was returned from Germany to be buried in Defuniak Springs.
His B-17 was shot down and he died in a German hospital.
It was always assumed that he was buried in an unmarked grave but research determined that he was given a funeral attended by his fellow POWs and buried with a headstone.
Pretty impressive considering the Germans averaged losing a thousand men a day.
The Germans were much more civil to POWs, at least to the non-Russian POWs, than either the Russians or Japanese were.
