[QUOTE="Same Ole Wiley, post: 2727172, member: 70220"] My grandfather "flew" a glider behind the German lines during the invasion. His brother was a bomber pilot in the European theater and was shot down and captured in Germany in early 1944. In April 1945, my grandfather was part of US led liberating force that advanced on the Kaufering concentration camp network in Bavaria just hours after the Germans had abandoned it. Most of the Jewish prisoners healthy enough to work had been forced to leave days before and marched to another prison (Buchberg). Among the roughly 1,500 prisoners remaining alive were 11 American service men, including my grandfathers brother who had been officially MIA for 16 months. They were flown to south England together and then back to Texas. [/QUOTE]
