From what I understand it covers the evacuation of Stalag Luft III and the "adventures" of the prisoners from this camp until their liberation near Lubeck in May 1945. As my father was one of these prisoners and I know little about their experiances at this time I am hopeful this book will clarify the situation for me some what. | |

You're Top Poster: #2  | Ah, excellent stuff, hope it clarifies a few things for you. Was just listening to the story of a former Whitley crewmember who had to go on a forced march as the Russians approached. They were finally liberated when a Russian tank crashed through one side of their camp and crashed out the other side. Didn't stop and the Russians weren't too interested in the POWs. Probably pushing hard for Berlin!
