I believe this is quite unique. It is amazing that almost an entire crew managed to evade and end up at Freteval. Most crews were separated. It must have been a relief for those six to be together after the crash. When your group arrived it must have been quite an event as I suppose most arrivals were much smaller groups.
Also your group must have been one of the last ones to get to the camp before Patton's troops got there mid August.
