Erlebnisbericht
Within four walls : a classic of escape
Zusammenfassung: This is the remarkable story of two British officers and their war effort, capture by the Germans, imprisonment and eventual escape to Holland. The pair were stationed in Mons at the outbreak of the war but were both captured and transferred to a POW camp in Burg, Germany. Almost immediatelly after arriving, the pair were planning their escape. After dyeing and tailoring their own uniforms, they simply strolled out of the Burg camp, enjoying nine days of freedom before being recaptured at Rostock. Complete with a collection of original photographs and drawings drawn by the authors, this book reads like the screenplay of a Hollywood blockbuster and is a riveting read from beginning to end.
