I have in a Readers Digest collection of short stories. An amazing feat of endurance. I'm talking about the story of Slavomir Rawicz not the Steven King novel.

Yep, the one by the Polish soldier, a must read for everyone.
I read it when I was 15 or so and it taught me to NEVER QUIT ! EVER !
It actually sent me down another path in life.

Not strictly PoW stuff, but I saw this in a shop today; didn't buy it (yet).

Seems he broke in two or three times, with an inmate's help, in order to witness and document the things he'd heard were going on. Incredible but it's a true story...

Yes, good book and the guy was one of the lucky ones who were eventually repatriated to the UK.

I'd mislaid this when I came to prepare that photo of my stash of books;

published in 1975 by Castle Books of New Jersey;

ISBN: 0 89009 028 9

It contains PoW accounts of escape plus photos of their escape equipment and other paraphernalia.
