A propos de cet article

MILITARY GENERAL World War II P.O.W. -A first hand description of the largest mass breakout of Allied prisoners of war in WWII. One hundred soldiers joined Slovene partisans to travel across mountains and rivers to reach an airfield and be flown to safety in Italy. A gripping story of cunning, courage and luck.It begins with the successful escape of seven men from a work camp. Their leader, the author, decides that it has been too easy and it is unfair no to bring the rest of the work camp with him. So he goes back and gets them, with the help of Slovene partisans, who he has negotiated passage to a supply airfield with.It sounds to good to be true, but its all in the military records! This book in translation is part of Sloveniaâs high school history reading list and the route of the escape is now a memorial walking track across the country from North to South, known as The Crowâs Flight in Slovene.One of the greatest escapes of WWII happened on a compassionate whim. After planning for years and succeeding in escaping with five companions, Ralph Churches decided he had better go back and get the rest of his mates; which he did, all ninety of them, then got them airlifted from behind German lines to Italy without lossFirst Edition.
