Remi DeLouche, a B-25 co-pilot, was shot down over Italy in 1943 and managed to be captured by the Italians, freed and then captured by the Germans without his family ever getting word that he was anything other than missing in action. He ended up at Stalag Luft III shortly after the Great Escape.

And has what do do with WW2 in the Pacific and Asia?
