Part of an article in the Chicago Tribune reporting on the group "American Ex Prisoners of War", who had evidence that the crew of the Damfino (Four Eyes) survived the crash during Tidal Wave, were taken by the Germans and later turned over to the Russians. I also have access to a photo that purports to show Gene O'Mara (my Uncle) taken in some type of rehabilitation camp near the end of the war.
