2nd Lt. Ellwood E. Collins

Comments:

Keywords: My Uncle, 2nd Lt. Ellwood E. Collins flew with the 44th Bomb Group - 68th Bomb Squadron. Their plane was shot down over Foggia, Italy and he was transported by German boxcar to Stalag Luft VII A after parachuting out of his plane at 18,000 ft. 6 of the 10 crew members made it out alive. If anyone knows anything they could tell me about him as I've been doing family history for 18 yrs and he is a missing part of it. He was my mother's brother and wanted no contact with the family or his crew once liberated. He apparently also had a man named Austin and Shannon with him. Austin escaped from the boxcar in the Alps on their way from Italy to Germany. Ellwood was in the Moosburg work camps. Thank you.
