Alan Adams
Royal Air Force 102 Sqdn.
I was a POW in Stalag 4B from December 1943 until libererated by Russian Cossacks on 23rd April 1945. We were kept inside by the Russians, so on 6th May walked out with several other RAF chaps. I was billeted in the RAF compound in the centre of the camp. I was shot down over Frankfurt on Maine a midupper gunner on Halifax R for Robert DY (RAF Pocklington) 102 Squadron. There were many nationalties there. Made my way via crossing Weiser etc until contacting the Americans.
