Bøger af Henry Langrehr

"As the Allied Invasion of Normandy launched in the pre-dawn hours of June 6, 1944, Henry Langrehr was among the thousands of Allies who parachuted into occupied France amid heavy anti-aircraft fire. Many of his fellow paratroopers died, but Henry miraculously survived, and with the remaining members of his unit valiantly battled enemy tanks to a standstill. On June 29, however, he was captured by the Nazis. Transported to a work camp, he made a desperate escape, setting off across southern Germany in search of his Allied brethren, knowing that he would need to do whatever it took to survive."--Page 4 of cover.
