Resten af besætningen, 8 mand, overlevede i mere eller mindre såret tilstand. Værnemagten forhindrede i flere timer, at selv hårdt sårede flyvere kunne komme under lægebehandling.” (FAF) Se den lange version. Uddrag, her om T/Sgt (Radio Operator) Lester W. Seelig: (Se besætningen på en B-17) Joyce og Seelig forsøgte at flygte. De overnattede i en halmstak, men de frøs meget den nat. Næste morgen kom de til en vej, og de kom med en vogn med tyske arbejdere til Tønder, hvor de blev afleveret til politistationen. Opholdet her i 2 dage stod i skærende kontrast til opholdet i de forskellige fangelejre, som udgjorde deres hjem de næste 16 måneder.

The rest of the crew, 8 men, survived in a condition more or less wounded. The Wehrmacht for several hours prevented that even severely wounded airmen could get medical treatment.” (FAF) See the long version. Excerpts, here about T/Sgt (Radio Operator) Lester W. Seelig, (See the crew of a B-17) Joyce and Seelig tried to evade. They spent the night in a stack of straw, but they had a very cold night. Next morning they came to a road, and they were taken along on a carriage with German workers to Tønder, where they were handed over to the police station. The 2-day stay here formed a glaring contrast to the stay in the German POW camps where they spent the following 16 months.
