Charley J. Garvey Jr was a Pilot in the 356th Fighter Group/360th Fighter Squadron. On the 20 March 1944 bomber escort mission to Frankfurt, Germany, he and another wingman were seen to leave formation, probably to sweep down on some target near the Belgian border. For some unknown reason, Garvey belly-landed his P-47D #42-74638 - "Nashville Belle" - near Loksbergen, Limburg Province, Belgium. Immediately helped by Belgian locals, he was taken in charge by an evasion network with the aim of either taking him out of the country towards Southern France and "neutral" Spain or to keep hiding him in Belgium until the arrival of liberating troops in the foreseen Invasion. Sheltered, fed, clothed, transported, hidden in several places in Belgium, he was captured on 24 April 1944 in a trap set by the false KLM evasion network. Detained in the Saint-Gilles, Brussels Prison for a few weeks, he was sent to the Dulag Luft Interrogation Center near Frankfurt before being transferred to Stalag Luft 3 in Zagan/Sagan, Poland. Force-marched from there, he ended up in Stalag 7A in Moosburg, Germany, and was liberated there like thousands of others by US troops on 29 April 1945.
