Lt. ROGER SCHOCK IS PRISONER, Red Cross Reports - Lt. Roger L. Schock, New Carlisle, OH, pilot of a B17 bomber, reported on June 15th (1944) as missing in action over France, is a prisoner of war in Germany. In the absence of his parents, Mr. & Mrs. Howard Schock, a telegram from the Red Cross to this effect was delivered Monday to Mrs. Schock's father, W. A. Zinn. Mr. & Mrs. Schock are on a vacation in Wisconsin and relatives had not been able to contact them.
High hope that their son was safe was held by the Schocks after word was received last week by the parents of Lt. Branson, of Bradford, navigator of the plane, that he was a prisoner. Information received from the War Department by Mr. & Mrs. Branson was that the plane was hit over France, was seen to loose altitude, and that ten men (the entire crew) were seen bailing out. Similar word was received by the parents of S. Sgt. Raymond Flora, of Dayton, radio operator on the plane.
The telegram received Monday by Mr. Zinn (Grandfather) stated that a letter of explanation would follow. end
