This is not intended as a treatise on the futility of war, because
that has been done before by much cleverer people. Neither is it a
stirring story of escape, patriotism and bravery, because that too
has been done before, by people much better qualified to write
about it. This is a perfectly straightforward and true story, of an
ordinary young German. Not particularly concerned about, nor
interested in politics, but subscribing to the currently held
idealised image of the Fuhrer, he was called upon to fight for his
country, for the Third Reich, and willingly did so. He was captured
in the autumn of 1944, and became a prisoner of war in England.
This is the story of his captivity, a light-hearted view. Sometimes
a little sad, but often funny. This is about ingenuity in
adversity, and how the fatalist more often than not survives all
others.
