Just another quick update on my site, I just completed putting all the POW and Escaper and Evader records I have (102,882) into a database.
This database is now searchable by last name, soldier number, rank, or unit. Clicking on the soldiers last name gets you a single record for the soldier.
Currently only covers Europe, without Italy and Japan. I need to have those transcribed.
Incorporated into the design is the ability to attach liberation report and E & E report images or links to the record. I have very few of these at the present time so don't expect to see them.
If you want to see one with a liberation report, this is my grandfathers.

On that note, if anyone has any E&E or LR images they'd like to share it would be appreciated, or if you are interested in working on this project with me any assistance would be welcomed.

No where near the total number of records that exist, but a good start none the less.

That's some amazing info there.

 

Wow. What a great site.

I know there is a German equivalent somewhere (will have to do some digging) that I once consulted when working on my book about the German POWs here in Nebraska.
