Impresivna zgodba, bila sem presenečena, da za ta dogodek prej še nisem slišala, čeprav sem živela zelo blizu območja, kjer se je 'let' zgodil. Literarno nič posebnega, pisanje malo okorno, ampak kakšen dosežek! Tudi zanimiv vpogled v manj nevarna taborišča 2. svetovne vojne.

An adventure into freedom.
From captivity in Nazi Germany to leading the largest successful escape of WW2.
Edwardian writing style, great story.
