SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
How was it possible that most of the 300,000 British and US troops who fell into German hands during World War II survived in POW camps and returned home? This behind-the-scenes look at the living conditions in Nazi camps traces the actions taken - and not taken - by the British and US governments to ensure the safety of their captured soldiers.
