My grandfather was a pilot in World war 2. We knew he flew mostly in India, but I think in Europe a little bit too. Near his death, he lost a lot of lucidity, but apparently a few days before his death he told my mom that he was held in a Japanese POW camp at some time.
We have no idea if this is true or not, and I’m just curious if anyone knows any way that you could find this out?
