Gavin D. Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Hi all I picked this DFC up recently. It is named to Frank Fretz on the box. The medal itself isn't named. I was told by the seller that it was her friend's father and he was shot down over France and became a POW for the rest of the war. I haven't been able to find much on him online though as of yet.

KASTAUFFER Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I did not find any Missing Air Crew Reports with him mentioned on it and did not find him on the NARA list of POWs or Internees. There is a good chance he was not a POW. Kurt !!!! WANTED !!!!

Gavin D. Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Kurt, Thanks for checking that for me. That is interesting. I am in contact with her and she may have more medals and some other things relating to him. Hopefully I can piece more of this vets story together through what else she has.
