The untold story of life in the allied camps under the

Nazi's.

Sean Londgen has conducted numerous interviews and

reveals a new perspective on life under the Nazis that has

long been forgotten and replaced by the myth of Colditz

and The Great Escape.

Between 1939 and 1945 almost 200,000 British and

Commonwealth Servicemen were held as Prisoners of War

in Germany. Every Allied soldier under the rank of Sergeant

was forced to work 12 hour shifts, six days a week, cutting

timber, quarrying stone, carving ice from frozen rivers and

clearing bombsites. It drove the soldiers to the brink, in

which survival was a daily trial. Many starved to death or

died from disease, others were killed in accidents or at the

hands of their guards.
