Synopsis
The most audacious true story of friendship and indomitable British spirit you will ever read!
For fans of THE LAST ESCAPE by John Nichol and ESCAPING HITLER by Monty Halls.
In Northern Poland in 1940, at the Nazi war camp Stalag XX-A, two men struck up an unlikely friendship that was to lead to one of the most daring and remarkable wartime escape stories ever told.
Antony Coulthard was the privately educated son of wealthy parents and he had a first-class honours degree in modern languages from Oxford. Fred Foster was the son of a bricklayer from Nottinghamshire - he had left school with no qualifications aged 14.
This seemingly mismatched young pair bonded in the prison camp, and hatched a plan to disguise themselves as advertising executives working for Siemens. They would simply walk out of the camp, board a train - and head straight into the heart of Nazi Germany. Which is precisely what they did.
Their route into Germany was one that no one would think to search for escaped PoWs. This breathtakingly audacious plan involved 18 months of undercover work, including Antony (nicknamed 'The Professor' by fellow inmates) spending 3 hours every evening teaching Fred to speak German.
They set off for the Swiss border via Germany, doing some sightseeing along the way in Munich and Berlin, taking notes of strategic interest while eating in restaurants and drinking beer with Nazi officers, just yards from Hitler's HQ.
'The extraordinary story of one of the most audacious escape attempts of the
Second World War' - Dan Snow

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. A lovely bright copy which is bound in fresh looking black cloth boards with crisp title lettering on the spine. No inscriptions and clean pages throughout. In fact the book looks to have been hardly read at all. The dust jacket is in equally excellent bright condition and is not price clipped. It just has superficial shop shelf wear such as light surface scuffing. In all a superb copy. N° de réf. du vendeur 010861
