WWII POW LEAD WINGS

[AZPhil]

That's a beauty!!!

My Uncle Joe Rachunas and a fellow crewman/friend Phil Chaperon were in Stalag XVIIB from April 13 1944 for the duration.

 I have the roster for Stalag XVIIB.

 I'll take a look at it.

His name was Sgt. Frank Knap.

 

The one I have was made by this guy and the handwriting appears to be the same as the one on yours.

I recently acquired these along with other items from Lt. Joseph F. Henchman, 721st BS/450th BG.  He was held at Stalag Luft III and the back side has ‘Sagan’ & an unknown word, possibly a name?

Was home digging through my collection as it's time to deaccess some things (no, not these), but have been meaning to post some more pics of them. So, enjoy.

Were these displays “a thing”? 
 

There was a POW pilot in New Cumberland, PA who made a similar display of US and foreign wings.

 

Very cool.

This is a POW camp made wing display from Stalag Luft 1.

 

it was made by a POW from the 99th Bomb Group 15th AAF.
