MACR 2275: In November 1989 I met the Pilot of the plane referenced in MACR 2275-1st Lt. Glenn Van Syckle while performing Army Reserve duty at Ft. Monmouth, NJ.
Glenn was a civilian employee there.
He allowed me to copy his Stalag Luft #1 Diary (YMCA Version) as well as a recently personal history of WWII that he had recorded.
Being a POW Historian I enjoyed this very much.
I also had some POW history of Stalag Luft 1 that I shared with him during my tour.
Copy available.
This is a 'great site'. Keep up the good work.

Enorm mooi verhaal over deze dappere mannen!
Ik ben geboren aan de tottenhamstraat, wanneer ik met mijn fiets naar mijn opa ging kwam ik door de colenbranderbos naar mijn opa die in heemserveen woonde, het verhaal over dit ongeval vertelde hij wel is over, er zou zelfs een brokstuk bij hem in het land gelegen hebben.
Onlangs kreeg ik het boek over maid to order waar ook veel over deze crash in staat.
Respect voor deze dappere mannen van maid to order!

Mooie site andy!

Andy Thank you for your posting of the complete MACR.
My uncle Hubert Reasoner was a ball turret gunner in Flak Rat (437770) and was killed on the Conac mission, his first combat flight.
His sister, my mother has Alzheimer's so the memories are fading now.
Bless you for keeping them alive.

Thanks again.

Great site.
I met the Pilot of plane described in MACR 2275 during my Army Resderve career and he allowed me to copy his YMCA Diary he did during his POW days at Stalag Luft 1 at Barth, Germany.
Have corresponded with the Co-Pilot's family and sent them your website.
This is an outstanding site and I enjoy it very much as a self described POW historian.

Michael Sprinker

Hello, Thanks for putting this site together!
My father was Lucas Sprinker, Navigator on the 'Flak Rat' 42-37770 614th.
http://www.remember-our-heroes.nl/1871.htm
He was a POW in Stalag-Luft One following his capture after this mission.
He was liberated by the Red Army in May 1945.
He died in 1978, very likely as a partial result of his injuries suffered to his leg during his landing (I think he hit a tree on his way down by parachute)
He had severe damage to his leg and had to be turned over after a day or so as he needed a hospital and surgery.

Again, thanks very much for this site! Michael Sprinker

Robert Harris

William Robert Jarrett was my first cousin once removed and as a young boy I saw him off at the train station in Sandusky, Ohio.
We operated a hog farm and contracted with the U.S. Army to haul garbage from a prison camp called Camp Perry in Ohio.
This camp had 2,500 German and 2,000 Italian prisoners.
As a young boy I was welcomed into the camp and always left with great German pastries.
At the time I could not understand why so many of the presionors wept when they saw me.
Thanks so much for this great information.

Be Blessed. Robert Harris

Lynne DiBerto

Thank you so much for all of your amazing hard work on this most memorable site.
This has meant a lot to my Dad Fred DiBerto who always wondered about his 'big cousin' and where he disappeared to.
I am 45 years old but I do remember my Aunt Anna (Joe DelTorto's Mom) always being sad and never really knowing what happened in detail and never being able to put closure on his death.
This is most kind of you, and truly inspirational!
My Dad never had the pleasure of meeting his 'big cousin' and only heard conversations about his heroism.

Sincerely, Lynne DiBerto 2nd cousin to Joe DelTorto
