Title: Facinating story but has this story ever been verified?
Product review: I found this account fascinating, however, I question the validity. Some of the details don't seem to make sense. For instance, would the wife of the prison camp commander really help a prisoner. Even if the escape took place while the camp commander was away he would still be severly punished (maybe even end up a prisoner himself). Also, the author does not talk about the inhuman/unspeakable brutality of these prison camps. The British soldiers who found the men and the doctors who cared for them - where are their accounts or even medical records? So while I found the book a engrossing adventure I am sceptical of its truthfulness.
