Comments: Flew 35 missions with 44th Bomb Group July 1944 to March 1945. Duty as co-pilot and flew with the 66th and 68th Bomb Squadrons. Shot down on 33rd mission on return leg from Dresden. Bailed out just inside allied lines and that is the reason I had to fly two more missions to complete the tour requirement of 35 missions. A piece of my parachute is the in the 2nd Air Division Assoc.memorial library at the Forum in Norwich.

Comments: My brother Kenneth W. Doran (2nd Lt.)Cleveland, OH was shot down in his P-52 on 7/4/1944. He finally was taken to Stalog III where he was held until May, 1945 when the war ended. He kept a diary of his time in prison camp. He thought the men of the "great escape" were his heroes. Kenneth died in 1979 at the age of 58 from ulcers he developed while in prison camp. He was proud to have served in the Air Force. These men did not talk much about their time in prison camp and had no parade when they finally came home. But I know personally the mental anguish and suffering they endured for the rest of their lives. THEY WERE MY HEROES. GOD BLESS THEM ALL!

Comments: Loved reading the excerpts from persons who had lived in Bridlington during WW2. My sister and I lived with my mother and maternal grandmother in Bridlington for the duration of the war. I was able to remember the bombing and the trips to the bomb shelters. I remember lying in bed and watching the searchlights in the night sky. It was interesting to hear about the soldiers billeted about town as I can remember them being across the road from where we lived and them coming to our house. Excellent site.

No. Born 1947, Comments: Excellent site. I'm old enough to remember the airodrome at Breighton still being operational. Our house adjoined it, and I was taken from my bed (being sick with measles) to see, and sit on the wing of, a Spitfire. We witnessed the gradual shutting down of the base until it was left as a wonderful playground for the village children. I didn't know what a tennis court was and thought this big mesh enclosure was where the P.O.W.'s were kept! I'm now trying to find anyone who may remember my Mum when she was in the Air Force. Her name was Margaret Rhodes nee Jackson and she will be 80 this year. She was a telephonist with Balloon Command, and I know she was at Falmouth on D-Day which was also her 21st birthday. Her service number was 2050224. She served in a number of places but I don't have their names at the moment. She wore one of "Mrs. Roosevelts' Dresses" when she and Dad married in September 1944. Dad, John Rhodes, was a Gunner in the Royal Artillery and he served in Malta during the siege, Kenya, Singapore, and Germany after the War. I'd also love to contact anyone who knew him. Sadly Dad died in 1969.

Uncle died in WWII, USA
Comments: Sirs, I have been researching the death of my Uncle Ensign Roy Edward Jones USNR for about three years now. I first discovered he was on the Escort Carrier USS Windham Bay. Then when there was no mention of his death in the deck log of that aircraft, I researched more to find he had been transfered to the USS Admiralty Islands. The deck log of that ship states on April 18th, 1945 that at "1449 - F6F from USS Essex crashed into catwalk on port side after a wave-off and went over the side admidships. Plane guard reported no survivor. Pilot was Ensign Roy E. Jones 395853, A1, USNR" I am wondering if he was assigned to the Essex as a replacement pilot while the Essex was supporting the Okinawa Campaign, but find no mention of him on the USS Essex website as a Pilot. Or, might he have been returning a damaged aircraft to the Admiralty Islands for repair, and unable to successfully land the crippled aircraft? I hope that one of the Veterans that read this may have some additional information. Your assistance would mean the world to me. Thank you, Keith Anderson Delphilabs@aol.com

As I read through a great many of the entries, I felt a sense of sadness for those trying to fill the knowledge void of family and friends who served in "the war." At the same time, one cannot help but feel a sense of awe and wonderment knowing that so many dedicated people gave their all to make the world a much better place. I myself, am a 20-year military vet, but my service was in peacetime, and I'm thankful to all those who participated in WWII to make it so. I certainly wish everyone who has posted here the very best of luck in gaining the knowledge they are seeking.

Comments: JIM WEIR was in RCAF in 1944 stationed in PEMBROKE DOCK, South Wales UK. He,like many others, found comfort from the agonies of war in the arms of a woman who likewise was a victim of the trauma of WW11. Who are we today to judge them?Are we so pure in thought? I was born from that union in June 1945. I would dearly love to tell my grandchildren what my father did in the war, where he came from and if they look like him.I have searched for him ever since I accidently found out about him. There are thousands of 'war babes' like me who need to know their roots. To quote Alex Haley "In all of us there is a hunger marrow deep, to know our heritage, to know who we are,and where we have come from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning, no matter what our attainments in life, there is a most disquieting lonliness" How true!

Comments: Sweden's crucial role in supplying Nazi Germany iron ore and military facilities. Especially notorious for their support to the Nazis were the Wallenberg family, SEB bank and SKF factory. The Swedish government was responsible for the most iron ore the Nazis received. Kiruna-G�llivare ore fields in Northern Sweden were all important to Nazi Germany.
These massive deliveries of iron ore and military facilities from Sweden to Nazi Germany lengthened World War II. Casualties of the war have been estimated at 20 million killed in Europe. How many of them died due to Sweden's material support to Nazi Germany, is not known.
Gerard Aalders and Cees Wiebes The Art of Cloaking Ownership: The Secret Collaboration and Protection of the German War Industry by the Neutrals: The Case of Sweden.
Firms located in 'neutral' Sweden supported the Nazis' financial and industrial leadership. The case of Enskilda, a bank owned by the still powerful Wallenberg family, proved to be particularly interesting. Among other things, Enskilda acted as a cloak for the Nazi regime and helped important German corporations like Bosch, IG Farben and Krupp to hide their foreign subsidiaries in order to avoid confiscation by the Allied governments.

Comments: LESLIE PATRICK BURTON, AUSTRALIAN:
Does anyone know where I could find Leslie Patrick Burton of the 106 Squadron RAF. He was a prisoner in Stalag 9c after Dec 1944 sometime. His plane was lost over the Dark Forest on the
4-12-1944. He is an Australian citizen and was a rear gunner on the Lancaster bomber. He was on a flight to Heilbronn Germany when the aircraft went missing and crashed somewhere near the Dark Forrest, Germany.
He was the sole survivor of the Lancaster Bomber crew. My husband's Uncle was one of the crew who didn't make it. We would love to speak with him, a near relative or someone who may have known him in Stalag 9c. Many thanks, Genelle Griffin
