Book excerpt: "Lord, I'll see you in a little bit," was the thought that ran through Private First Class A. W. Ishee's mind when he was surrounded by Germans with their bayonets pointing at him. This young soldier endured many hardships as he endeavored to serve his country. Landing in France as a combat medic in Company L, he traveled with the 42nd division of the 232nd infantry battalion as they captured parts of the Siegfried Line and engaged in the Battle of the Bulge. On January 5, 1945 he was captured by the enemy and thrown into a German prisoner-of-war camp. Just surviving became the order of the day. Terrified by bombings, heartbroken at the death of many of his buddies, frozen, starved, infested with lice, mentally abused, and physically tormented, he managed to maintain his morale and sustain his faith in his God and his country. In his book Stalag IV-B: An Ex-POW Tells His Story, Rev. Ishee shares his experiences as a German prisoner of war and finally as an escapee as he and his friend find their way back home. Stalag IV-B is a true story told by someone who was there.
Book Synopsis Stalag 383 Bavaria by : Stephen Wynn
Download or read book Stalag 383 Bavaria written by Stephen Wynn and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2021-05-26 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stalag 383 was somewhat unique as a Second World War prisoner of war camp. Located in a high valley surrounded by dense woodland and hills in Hofenfels, Bavaria, it began life in 1938 as a training ground for the German Army. At the outbreak of war it was commandeered by the German authorities for use as a prisoner of war camp for Allied non-commissioned officers, and given the name Oflag lllC. It was renamed Stalag 383 in November 1942. For most of its existence it comprised of some 400 huts, 30 feet long and 14 feet wide, with each typically being home to 14 men. Many of the British service men who found themselves incarcerated at the camp had been captured during the evacuations at Dunkirk, or when the Greek island of Crete fell to the Germans on 1 June 1941. Stalag 383 had somewhat of a holiday camp feel to it for many who found themselves prisoners there. There were numerous clubs formed by different regiments, or men from the same town or county. These clubs catered for interests such as education, sports, theatrical productions and debates, to name but a few. This book examines life in the camp, the escapes that were undertaken from there, and includes a selection of never before published photographs of the camp and the men who lived there, many for more than five years.

Book Synopsis Great Escape Forger by : Susan Holmstrom Kohnowich
Download or read book Great Escape Forger written by Susan Holmstrom Kohnowich and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2022-09-21 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carl Holmstrom’s superb artwork depicts life as a ‘kriegie’ in a unique manner. But, more than that, he spent the major part of his captivity in Stalag Luft III Prisoner of War Camp, famous for ‘The Great Escape’. The audacity of the 76 escapees was only matched by the callousness of the Nazis who murdered 50 after recapture. As well as skillfully recording camp life, Carl forged invaluable official documents. He also sketched his fellow prisoners and encouraged others to take up drawing as hobby. Remarkably he saved over 200 examples of his work by carrying them on the appallingly arduous 1945 winter march from Poland into Germany. Post war, Carl Holmstrom said, “The drawings were made during imprisonment and represent a sincere effort to portray to the American people and especially to the relatives of the prisoners, intimate glimpses of Kriegie life.” His words proved to be prophetic. An expansion of his earlier self-published Kriegie Life, this superb book honors Carl’s exceptional artistic gift. This book has strong claim to contain the finest collection of POW art to emerge from Nazi-occupied Europe.
Book Synopsis Stalag Luft III by : Arthur A. Durand
Download or read book Stalag Luft III written by Arthur A. Durand and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stalag Luft III is the camp most commonly associated with the Allied prisoner of war experience in World War II Germany. Housing mainly British and American flyers, it was the historical setting for the movie The Great Escape. As with most Hollywood treatments, however, the film blurred the line between fact and fiction. In Stalag Luft III: The Secret Story, Arthur A. Durand offers the first comprehensive historical examination of what camp life was actually like, from the mundane drudgery of the prisoners' daily lives to their harrowing struggle for survival against an enemy responsible for the deaths of millions. Relying on coded records kept by appointed camp historians, as well as personal interviews, letters, logs, diaries, and recently declassified government documents, Durand expertly combines impressive scholarship with dramatic narrative.

Download or read book Lone Star Stalag written by Michael R. Waters and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation Between 1943 and 1945 nearly fifty thousand German Prisoners of war, mostly from the German Afrika Korps, lives and worked at seventy POW camps across Texas. Camp Hearne, located on the outskirts of rural Hearne, Texas, was one of the first and largest German prisoner-of-war camps in the United States.

Book Synopsis Survival at Stalag IVB by : Tony Vercoe
Download or read book Survival at Stalag IVB written by Tony Vercoe and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-03-27 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition to concentration camps, World War II Germany was also home to 54 prisoner-of-war camps, the largest of which was Stalag IVB. Throughout the more than five years of its existence, Stalag IVB supported numerous satellite camps, eventually housing thousands of prisoners of many nationalities. Here Poles, French, Belgians, British, Americans, Dutch and Russians fought to survive in a place where life's most basic needs were barely fulfilled. Interned in the camp for several months from late 1943, Tony Vercoe engaged in a struggle for life, sanity and escape. This historical chronicle evokes the heartbreaking reality of day-to-day life in Stalag IVB. Rich with firsthand accounts by the author and other veterans of the camp, it provides particulars regarding rations, prisoner-of-war registration, camp hygiene, inmate activities and prisoner morale. Special emphasis is placed on the role of the International Red Cross in prisoner survival and the multinational "melting pot" characteristics of the camp itself. Possibilities of flight and the events that motivated prisoners' daring escape attempts are discussed, along with the consequences of their frequent failures. Closing chapters detail the camp's final months and the prisoners' long awaited deliverance.
Book Synopsis Life at Stalag Luft I by : Delbert Chase
Download or read book Life at Stalag Luft I written by Delbert Chase and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a record of 13 months in a German POW camp during World War II, illustrating a phenomenal grace under pressure. Stalag Luft I (short for Kriegsgefangenen-Mannschafts-Stammlager-Luft) was one of nine German POW camps for Allied airmen during World War II in addition to the Dulag Luft interrogation center. The camps were run by the Luftwaffe independently of the German Army. At the time of its liberation by Russian troops in May 1945, nearly 9,000 men were incarcerated at Stalag Luft I alone. The International Red Cross gave blank diaries to POWs to use as they pleased. Many completed ones were later confiscated by the Germans. This one, which was saved, conveys a precious story of courage and humor and grace. It tells the story of life in the North 1 Compound at Stalag Luft I from April 1944 to liberation in May 1945 from the point of view of 2nd Lt. Delbert "Del" W. Chase, who was a Bombardier on an Allied B-17. The book includes: * Bio of the author * Description of the B-17 Flying Fortress * Selected pages from Missing Air Crew Report (MACR) 3677 for Del's B-17, including a list of the crew * Story of Del's capture, interrogation, and subsequent transport to Stalag Luft I * Description of the camp * Maps of the north and south compounds of the camp * Day-to-day description of life in the camp * Over three dozen drawings, most in full color, by Del and his fellow prisoners, along with other illustrations * Numerous illustrated poems, all by POWs * Recipes used by the prisoners * Post card to Emily Post asking about dining etiquette * Sample page from "POW WOW" (Prisoners of War Waiting on Winning), the camp newsletter * List and signatures of many of Del's fellow Kriegsgesfangenen (War Prisoners) and where to find online memorials to them * Glossary
Download or read book Tomorrow We Escape written by Tom Trumble and published by Penguin Group Australia. This book was released on 2014-06-25 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a November morning in 1943, escaped Australian POW Ian Busst comes within a day's march of Allied lines after journeying hundreds of miles on foot through war-torn Italy. The young man is starving and hypothermic, and the German 10th Army stands between him and freedom. Years later, 95-year-old Busst – the unlikely survivor – can still recall his wartime experiences in the Royal Australian Engineers in incredible detail, from the sound of a strafing Messerschmitt to the appalling vision of his two mates blown apart by a high-calibre bomb. Busst's odyssey took him through the dark days of the Battle of Britain and fighting in the Western Desert. Captured near Tobruk during a daring night mission ahead of the German advance into Libya, he was sent to the prison camps of Italy and eventually to the dreaded Campo 57. Subjected to appalling conditions, Busst – known as 'Mad Bugger' – became obsessed with one objective: escape. This is a thriller set amid the great battlefields and prison camps of the Second World War. Tom Trumble brings to life one man's extraordinary story of high adventure, courage, resilience and, above all, mateship.
