| Thank you Don for such quick responce about 231511 as I saw a picture of this plane on a post card and the Bg and thought maybe I could find something out about<br/> this plane. My father was a TTE on the Lt. Harte crew and they flew out of Thorpe Abbotts w/the 100th Bg and the 100th had quit a record for losses it seems as the Germans seemed to seek them out. My Dad was a POW in Stalag 17B, in barracks 31B, shot down 4/22/44<br/> maybe we can keep in touch with our PC's,Take care!<br/>

| Hello Courtney<br/> I have been doing some research on my Uncle Harveys<br/> war years And he too was sent to Stalag 17B barracks<br/> 31B (shot down April 8th 1944 over Hanover Germany)He was with the 44th bomb group 67th squadron.Unfortunatly<br/> he passed away years ago and I never got to talk to him. Any stories you know about from barracks 31B?<br/> I also have pages from his P.O.W. journal.<br/> Including a complete list of all the men in 31B!<br/> What was your dads name?<br/> <br/>
