Based on true events, this book recounts the daring escape of Allied officers from the infamous Holzminden prisoner-of-war camp in Germany during World War I. Known as the most inescapable camp, Holzminden housed officers who had repeatedly attempted escapes. Fuelled by unwavering determination, a group of prisoners conceived a plan to dig a 55-meter tunnel using only ingenuity and meager tools.
The book unveils the lives and experiences of these men, drawing on personal anecdotes, wartime journals, unpublished photographs, and artwork contributed by their descendants. Discover the rigid code of honor within the camp, the challenges of survival, and the unbreakable spirit that drove these men to risk everything for freedom. Their audacious breakout became a blueprint for future escape attempts.
