Joe Beyrle - WWII OSS/D-Day Paratrooper and Russian Red Army Veteran, POW, Escaped from Multiple Prison Camps

Remember my Name - Heroes in Military and Law Enforcement

Joe's story is one they make movies about. Joe enlisted in the top tier of specialized soldiers, the 101st Airborne Division. He parachuted into Nazi occupied France, narrowly escaped a sniper, killed several German troops and was eventually captured. However, POW camp wasn't made for Joe. After multiple escape attempts, he landed a job with the Soviet Red Army and finished out the war.
