About This Item
In good condition - has markings from use - dust jacket is included though in pieces inside book - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.
I have always thought that Wing Commander Yeo-Thomas's story ought to be given to the public, and I was glad when John Pudney persuaded him to allow it to be told, and flattered when Tommy asked me to do the telling. As a chronicler I have, however, only two qualifications; those of having been in 1943 and 1944 a reprehensibly chairborne Intelligence officer to 'R.F.' Section and of having lived in France for twenty years.
In order to tell the story tidily and without digression I have often been obliged to allow characters to disappear without stating their fate. It may, therefore, interest the reader if I say that Peulevé is now in England and Hessel in Paris; that the nine others who escaped with Yeo-Thomas from the death convoy were all alive; that Pister, Krautwurst, Schobert and Wolff were, largely on evidence given by Yeo-Thomas at the Buchenwald trials, condemned to death by the Allies and hanged; that Möller is now working on a farm in Germany; that Kenn and Schmidt have never been punished; and that Hubble's chess set, also of the cast is now in the possession of his family.
