The Greatest Escape

[coppice]

Books about WW2 are very rarely my thing but for personal reasons I made an exception for The Greatest Escape, by Martin Barratt . His father was the navigator in a Halifax which was shot down over Germany . This is an intensely moving and profoundly upsetting book , which took the author over twenty years to research.

My review is on speeedreaders.info.

I will have to check this out. Been ex-RAF and a guide for Stalag Luft III (the Great Escape), I have a particular interest in RAF PoW escapes etc. Thanks for posting this.

Let me know how much you enjoyed it -or not ! - and I will pass it on to the author .
