Escape from Germany

Neil Hanson

About this book

July, 1918. Surrounded by steel palisades and barbed-wire fences, Holzminden was the most heavily guarded POW camp in the world. To escape would take boundless ingenuity and nerves of steel. But on the night of 23 July 1918, twenty-nine undaunted Allied prisoners achieved the impossible. This is the story of how they did it.
