Aircraft was shot down by flak on misson to Magdeburg, Germany on Feburary 3rd, 1945. We lost 3 engines and traded altitude for distance while fuel was lost from left wing fuel tank. I bailed out in Vosges Mountain area near Zweibrucken, landed in no-man land. I evaded capture for 7 days with a broken ankle, fractured back, and frozen feet. Finally I was captured by SS Troops and was severely mis-treated while imprisoned in Zweibrucken and Heppenheim. We were liberated on March 27, 1945 by the 7th Army.
