Separate names with a comma.
It's funny that a lot of 6 and 7 June 1944 sortie photos never made it into the archive. Funny in a not humorous sense. I have the feeling some...
EPS Rennes or EPS Lazarett (Teillager) in documents I have seen but the document stamp reads Frontstalag 221 Aussenstelle.
The reason the list is long is because different PWs called the same places different names and it appears the Germans did too. The former French...
I wonder when the new finding aids for WWII Europe will be available. That is the biggest obstacle to getting the exact photo you are looking...
Hmmm the only Kriegslazarett in Rennes was 4.612 Kriegslazarett which was based out of the Hotel Dieu and to my knowledge only handled German...
Thanks for that update. I wonder if the comment about the Rennes PW camp is saying that at the Lazarette 133/Front Stalag 221 W location at the...
I found this location which isn't well organized but has a large number of aerial recon photo runs of the Canadian sector for France....

It does sound intriguing. I wonder how much footage is on the DVD? Can anyone contact the person in charge or leave a message on the site?
RE: Inserting photos into posts I would suggest finding an online photosharing site like Photobucket and set up an account. You can then post...
But powered aircraft do get a MACR. I say that is unfair and we should write our congressman. :)
I think I found Lemon. It appears to be a typo of 437 really being 457 which then puts him in 457 bomber group and 750 squadron that matches up...
So was he part of the 86th TCS too?
Do you have a squadron for Kuller? I notice his service number doesn't match mine from the Hospital.
Just thought I would throw this up here. I have found a couple of guys at Rennes that indicated they were Glider Pilots. One guy doesn't have a...
RE: Company I / 29th Infantry Division / 116th Regiment / 3rd Battalion Well I only have 1 guy from Company I identified as in the Rennes...
