Memories of capture and survival on WWII bombing missions

Pietsch and Northrup recount April 27 1944 when Northrup was shot down over Belgium on his tenth mission. Three crew survived from ten as German captors held him in Brussels and two camps, then Stalag Luft 1. Russians liberated the camp on May 1 1945 with the Hitler salute before the hit parade faded.
