Martini USAAF, and Squadron Leader Phil Lamason DFC*, mid(2), RNZAF who were among those that experienced perhaps the most terrifying captivity of any Prisoners of War, in the SS&#8217;s notorious Buchenwald death camp.<\/p>\n<p>Ric discusses how both men ended up in the camp, what went on during their time there and the threat of death they were under, and also what happened to both men when they finally got out and into regular POW camps, and the forced marches they went on. He also discusses what happened to both men post-WWII and the lack of recognition, the cover up of information and the shameful neglect that particularly the US Government showed the veterans who had lived through the awful imprisonment at Buchenwald.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P1390345.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2878\" src=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P1390345-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P1390345-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P1390345-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P1390345-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P1390345-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P1390345-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P1390345.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAbove and below: Ric Martini during the WONZ Forum Meet presentation\u00a0heard in this episode<br \/>\nPhotos: Dave Homewood<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P1390342.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2879\" src=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P1390342-1024x567.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P1390342-1024x567.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P1390342-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P1390342-768x425.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P1390342-150x83.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P1390342-400x221.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P1390342.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2880\" src=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"342\" height=\"586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/1.jpg 342w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/1-175x300.jpg 175w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/1-88x150.jpg 88w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 342px) 100vw, 342px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a>Above: Ric&#8217;s father Sgt Frederic C.
