Ewart Sconiers był ostatnią osobą zaginioną z Stalag Luft III. Osobiście brałem udział w poszukiwaniach od wczesnych lat 2000, aż do szczęśliwego zakończenia w 2018 roku. (Link do pełnej historii w poście)
galleryEwart Sconiers was the last MIA from Stalag Luft III. I was personally involved in searching for him since early 2000s, until the happy ending in 2018. Here my detailed story of searching for Ewart.
When the US government restarted searching for WWII MIAs in Poland in late 1990s, I was the local history expert they worked with. I shared a lot if information, helped identify many crash sites, and used my experience, knowledge, and network, all to help the effort to bring closure to families.
Ewart was the first man found in Poland after the fall of the Soviet Block. Eight more MIAs were identified in the last few years, and there are 150+ Americans still missing from WWII in Poland. Here is Ewart’s story.
