O knihe
World War II Germany was home to 54 prisoner-of-war camps, the largest of which was Stalag IVB. Throughout the more than five years of its existence, Stalag IVB supported numerous satellite camps, housing thousands of prisoners of many nationalities. Interned in the camp for several months from late 1943, Tony Vercoe engaged in a struggle for life, sanity and escape. This historical chronicle evokes the heartbreaking reality of daily life in Stalag IVB. Rich with firsthand accounts by the author and other veterans of the camp, it covers rations, prisoner-of-war registration, camp hygiene, inmate activities and morale. Special emphasis is placed on the role of the International Red Cross and the multinational ?melting pot? characteristics of the camp itself. Possibilities of flight and the events that motivated prisoners? daring escape attempts are discussed, along with the consequences of their frequent failures. Closing chapters detail the camp's final months and liberation.
