Sgt. Reginald Scarth
Royal Canadian Air Force
from:Morley, Yorkshire
Sgt Reg Scarth, my father, flew with 6 Group Bomber Command. He was a rear gunner in a Halifax that was shot down, he was taken prisoner and held in Stalag 4B, along with a friend from 'back home'. There was an English lady who was married to a German looking for her English son who had been shot down. She was smuggled into 4B via a work party to be reunited him. My father was one of those who kept her identity a secret until she left the camp. I know little else as he did not speak about the war days often.
