Revisions
Updated the location of the "POW" event per WW2 POW records at the National Archives (NARA).
Added "Possible DUPLICATE" in the Nickname field so an Admin can check out this person.
Directly from my father, Prisoner photo ID, Stalag XVllb prisoner list. He was originally brought to Stalag Luft III, then transferred to Stalag XVIIb. I don't believe he was ever in Stalag VIIA. Not sure where that info came from.
