A Pow's Story

Produktbeschreibung

It has been said that every soldier fights a different war. Here is a totally unique picture of World War II by an American private, who spent the latter part of the conflict as a prisoner of the Germans. Semi-autobiographical, this book, rich in the contradiction of war, relates the authors sometimes bitter, sometimes heartwarming personal experience. Deliverance at Diepholz is a carefully written, completely factual account of diverse cultures intermingling against a colorful background of POW life on a remote Pomeranian farm. It stresses the triumph of basic human values in a sort of mans humanity to man account that is gratifying to read.

As a member of "L" Company, 179th Infantry, he saw combat first in North Africa, then at the Battle of Anzio, where he was captured by the Germans.

On his return to Connecticut, he raised a family and embarked on a distinguished career in marketing and exporting.
