10/30/2006 12:12:44 AM | hi every body! my father-inlaw bailed out over Germany on dec. 31 1943and was a guest at stalag 17b until the end of the war. I have all kinds of Questions and little answers. Where was 2nd lt. Lawry from as he is not listed in the 401st ,Jakey f. hobbs, my father-inlaw, was taken from barracks to fill a spot for a sick crew member and isn't listed anywhere until prison camp. is there a place that would have this info or was it too early for this type of records.

While I am not sure where to find the crew information ( I am sure others may have a suggestion that)...I was wondering if you had tried the Stalag 17B web site for more info?
Here is the site in case you do not have it.

I hope this is of some help.
