The archived information is great Kai, did you also mean to add something new?

That sure is a *&%* job that the Allied troops were held hostage and never returned. I wonder if we ever could have satisfied Stalin? Would the thousands of returning service men have poisoned the political atmosphere even more?

I wonder how long this had gone on before it became politically impossible to change? At what point had the prisoners been kept so long that the Russians would never return them? I also wonder how many administrations after Eisenhower leaned about them? What a crappy situation. Did the book say where they would have been buried and would there be any interest in recovering the remains? With today's forensic science many could be identified.
