The true and heroic story of American POWs' daring escape from a Nazi
concentration camp.
In this little-known story from World War II, a group of American POW camp leaders
risk everything to save hundreds of fellow servicemen from a diabolical Nazi
concentration camp. Their story begins in the dark forests of the Ardennes during
Christmas 1944 and ends at the Buchenwald Concentration Camp in the spring of
1945. This appalling chapter of US military history and uplifting Holocaust story
deserves to be widely known and understood.
Operation Swallow provides a historical, first person perspective of how American GIs
stood up against their evil SS captors who were forcing them to work as slave
laborers. A young GI is thrust into a leadership position and leads his fellow
servicemen on a daring escape. It is a story filled with courage, sacrifice, torture,
despair, and salvation. A compelling narrative-driven nonfiction book has not been
written that takes the reader deep into the dark story of Operation 'Swallow' and
Berga Concentration Camp--until now.
Written from personal testimonies and official documents, Operation Swallow is a tale
replete with high adventure, compelling characters, human drama, tragedy, and
eventual salvation, from the pen of a master of the modern military narrative.
