Blurb reads:
A series of yells told me that our disappearance had been discovered. Searchlights from the main tower switched on. At the barbed wire the Germans halted and opened fire with their sub-machine guns. Bullets pinged and spewed around us as we clanged down the metal steps.
Agressive, impetuous and dauntless, Richard Pape was never going to sit out the war in a Nazi prison. Captured after going on the run when his bomber crashed in occupied Holland, his thoughts turned, at once, to escape. In the most appalling of conditions, he did not give way. Not only did he send over a hundred coded messages to the War Office, but he swapped identities with a fellow prisoner to make a break-out. His incredible escape was only the beginning of his struggle for freedom. Hunted by the Nazis across Europe, for Pape surrender was never an option.
