This was a fighter-bomber unit. During the Tunisia campaign in March, 1943 he was shot down. by ground fire. Once he crashed in the desert he was strafed by German planes and hit twice. Soon after a German ground patrol found him and took him to the hospital. Eventually he was sent to a POW camp. At some point he was trnsfered from an Italan POW camp to Stalag Luft VIIA and then Stalag Luft III At the end of the war he was liberated by the 14th Armored division. Written from his son's perspective, and coupled with autobiographical material, LIBERATED chronicles the World War II experiences of Lt. Harlan E. Highfield. Harlan's training as a P-40 fighter pilot in the U. S. Army Air Corps led to flying combat missions in the North African Campaign. After being shot down in the Tunisian desert, and following his subsequent wounding, Harlan spent over two years as a Prisoner of War in camps in Italy and Germany. The April 29, 1945 liberation of Stalag VII-A by General Patton's 14th Armored Division allowed Harlan to return to civilian life where he was successful as an educator, administrator, coach, husband, and father.This is one person's story that serves as an example of the many sacrifices made by millions during World War II.
