Gerry Smith WWII POW Presentation 3-1-2016



On the evening of Tuesday March 1st, World War II POW Gerry Smith spoke to a full house at the Candia Public Library in Candia, New Hampshire. Gerry was shot down in Italy on November 5th, 1944 after parachuting out of his down aircraft, B-26. He was then taken by the Germans to a hospital. Over the course of this hour discussion Gerry recounts harrowing details of his capture and liberation. He also recounts his trip in 2012 with his entire family to the scene of the downed aircraft in the Italian village. Enjoy and thank you for listening.
The Presentation begins at the 0:11 mark in the video.
