General Dean May Be Last To Win Freedom
In the 235th day of Operation Biz Switch the Communists freed 145 Americans among 1,000 total prisoners, along with 230 South Koreans, three Turks, and two Australians. Allies repatriated 2,400 Communist prisoners. Maj. Gen. William F. Dean, held at Kaesong, may be the last to pass through Freedom Gate next Friday, a gesture toward lesser-ranked prisoners. Master Sgt. Martin Strahan of Pontiac said he believed he was the first American captured, recounting a long march to Pyongyang and a later transfer to the “Korean Gestapo” led by the Tiger. Cpl. Steven Gavula recalled the Tiger’s rare smile during a wife visit near Kosan. The Navy transport Marine Phoenix sailed from Inchon with 374 returnees, the fifth such ship to depart Inchon, expected in San Francisco in 14 days.
