Summary:
As World War II approached its end, thousands of American and British
soldiers languished in German POW camps. With the Russian Red Army
closing in from the east and Allied troops advancing from the west,
Hitler forced the POWs deeper into the heart of Germany. Over the
next several months these prisoners were forced to walk more than 500
miles through the severest of winter conditions, and hundreds died
from exhaustion, disease, and starvation. Herefor the first
timeinterviews with the POWs who survived as well as their diaries
and letters bring this astonishing tale of endurance and courage to
life.
