He spent the next year as a German POW, where he suffered great deprivation before finally being liberated by advancing Russian forces.His training, his courage, his capture. The reader is taken for a first-person tour of the times at home and then tunneled into a vastly different world on the battlefield and in a German prisoner-of-war camp.A truly remarkable story.
