Escape To Freedom: An Airman's Tale of Capture, Escape and Evasion

Escape To Freedom: An Airman's Tale of Capture, Escape and Evasion by Tony Johnson
English | Apr 2009 | ISBN: 1844158950, 0850528941 | 208 Pages | AZW3/EPUB/PDF (conv) | 4.7 MB

The Author was shot down in his Wellington bomber on his third operational mission. Captured shortly after he was interrogated in Dulag Luft before being sent to Stalag Luft 1 on the Baltic where he stayed from April to September 1944. As the noose tightened on Germany, Tony and his fellow kriegies were kept on the move.
He describes the increasingly harsh conditions they all endured, including the infamous Long March of the winter of 1945. He twice escaped, the second time successfully reaching the Allied Second Army.
