Dennis Hill has posted information from the Washington Archives on his site at: American Escapers from P.G. 59 It tells the stories of 14 different American PoWs and their return to their own lines
To help anybody searching, here is a list of the Escapers. Those in bold have an item to themselves, the others are also mentioned but within an individual story Private Anthony N. Proto Charles J. Stewart First Sergeant Karl Huddleston Capt. Matheson of the British Army PFC Richard A. Wombacher T/4 John Ford 2nd Lt. Ellis A. Ruppelt Private Daniel J. McNally Private Lawrence Danich Private Ellsworth Squadron Leader Nathaniel Nye Sgt. Theodore D. Drazkowski PFC Harold S. Arneson PFC Arnold L. Anderson Private Hilbert H. Balk Private Roland B. Light Private Lawrence J Rizzo Sgt. Russell Jobusch Private John Savageau T/Sgt. William A. Madunich Private Edward M. Greenberg Sgt. William P. Hancock, Jr S/Sgt. George H. Tucker S/Sgt. Kingsland
Thanks for this. Dennis Hill's website contains some excellent information. If anyone is interested in Sgt. Drazkowski's own account of how he escaped from his aircraft see my website, on which 2nd Lt. Ellis A. Ruppelt's crew mate Remi deLouche also appears: airmenpowcampitaly.weebly.com It would seem that airmen Hancock, Tucker and Kingsland (with Tucker according to the latter's account) would have escaped from PG 82 Laterina at the time of the Death March in June'44.
