My dad was a POW during WWII and was on one of the forced marches described in this book. It filled in some of the gaps for me about what he endured.

Brilliantly researched story of Allied PoWs last months in captivity in Germany, as they were marched from place to place under often terrible conditions. The authors draw on many personal diaries and recollections as well as official sources to bring to life these amazing stories, of what was the last desperate days of the Third Reich and the PoWs attempts to survive, until Allied troops reached them. A fitting tribute to these previously unsung heroes who never received their due recognition.
