After The Great Escape
1945, Forced March to Liberation
Descrição da editora
The P.O.W.s who were in Stalag Luft III, known as The Great Escape camp, had more to endure after the escape attempt in 1944. The Germans started the Forced March to evade the oncoming Russia troops. They left the camp on January 27, 1945, under brutal weather conditions and endured a long foot march, an even more horrendous train ride, to end up in a miserable place, Stalag VIIA, living under appalling conditions, where they stayed until Liberation Day on April 29, 1945. This is their story.
