My father-in-law Frank Charles Frantzen (deceased 1976) was shot down over Politz, Germany and was interned in Sweden where he met his future wife Elaine Pearson.  After the war, he returned to the Bronx, New York and then requested departure from the United States so he and Elaine could get married.  He and Elaine were married in Sweden and both returned to the Bronx where they had two sons, Ronald and Roger.  Several years later they had a house built in Oceanside, New York (Long Island) where they had a set of twins, a boy and a girl, Brian and Karen.  Brian is my late husband, he passed in 2017. Roger and his wife took possession of the house after Elaine passed in 1983. This picture was found in the house when Roger passed in 2011.

Frank was a tail gunner in Battlin' Baby a B-24 Liberator.  We always thought this was his plane.  There is a name inscribed on the cockpit door that is slightly illegible, but looks liske L.I. Fistmeier.  Nobody with this name was part of Frank's crew.  I have attached another photo (UPL63198) of the side of the plane and the name of aircraft is partly shown as Lovely.  There is a B-17 named Lovely Lady, but I am only making an assumption here.
