Met a B-17 Crewman who bailed out over Germany .

It was at the Midway Reunion I was invited to , about 12 years ago. He was 89 at the time. Had a AWESOME sense of humor! He told me that guys who bailed out over Germany were almost more afraid of pissed off German Farmers with pitch forks than they were the German Army. He said the SS could be another story. He said he lucked out and was treated ok in the POW Camp. He said it was far from a picnic though. That Reunion was very interesting. I sat at the same table with a PBY Crew Member who flew from Midway to find the Japanese fleet (Remember the "Strawberry" Squadrons in the movie??)
