Leslie Patrick Burton
Royal Air Force 106 Sqdn.
from:Australia
Does anyone know where I could find Leslie Patrick Burton of the 106 Squadron RAF? He was a prisoner in Stalag 9c after December 1944. His plane was lost over the Dark Forest on the 4-12-1944. He is an Australian citizen and was a rear gunner on the Lancaster bomber. He was on a flight to Heilbronn, Germany when the aircraft went missing and crashed somewhere near the Dark Forest, Germany. He was the sole survivor of the Lancaster Bomber crew. My husband's uncle was one of the crew who didn't make it. We would love to speak with him, a near relative or someone who may have known him in Stalag 9c.
