Revisions
Added a connection to Stalag Luft 1 per WW2 POW records at the National Archives (NARA).
Removed the "Possible DUPLICATE" flag in the Nickname field and then removed the duplicate person.
Added POW camp info to the POW event and a S/N from WW2 POW records at the National Archives (NARA).
Copied "Summary biography" from a Duplicate person as part of a merge operation of dup people so the dup person can be deleted.
Flagged as a "Possible DUPLICATE" in the Nickname field so an Admin can check out this person.
Corrected the name by moving "Jr" from the surname field to the suffix field and moving the last name from the middle name field to the surname field.
