This February 2016 photo provided by Dan Shifrin shows his father, 93-year-old Edwin Shifrin at home in Clayton, Mo., looking at a prisoner-of-war medal he just received for his World War II military service. The award was expedited by U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri after she was approached by Shifrin's family about his clever escape from a Nazi prison camp. That may never have come to light if not for the efforts of son Dan Shifrin, who says he was able to learn about the escape by digging through old news reports and his father's military records.
