Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 Lt. Reba Z. Whittle, Army Flight Evacuation Nurse, pictured at far left, awarded Purple Heart and Air Medal, flew 40 missions before her C-47 was shot down over Aachen in September, 1944. She received six weeks of training in October, 1943 including firing the TSMG. Germans eventually released Reba sending her to Switzerland by train in January, 1945.

That NBC News photo of IDF women in a story about Norwegian women, see link above, is what passes for journalism today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted September 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 Reba was forced to sign security agreement, yet she was never officially classified by DOD as a POW until September 2, 1983. I understand that all information concerning escape, evasion fromcapture, activities and equipment in connection therewith, and detailsof imprisonment or release from internment, is SECRET and must notbe disclosed to anyone except the military officials specificallydesignated. I further understand that disclosure to any other personwill make me liable to disciplinary action for failure to safeguardMILITARY INFORMATION.I realize that publicity concerning my experiences, by word of mouthor otherwise, will endanger the lives of many persons and therefore itis my duty to take all possible precautions to prevent it. https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/citations/ADA223404 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
