: En el norte de Polonia, en 1940, en el campo de guerra nazi Stalag XX-A, dos hombres entablaron una amistad improbable que condujo a una de las historias de fuga de guerra m�s notables y audaces jam�s contadas. Antony Coulthard era el hijo de padres ricos con educaci�n privada y una licenciatura en idiomas modernos de Oxford. Fred Foster era hijo de un alba�il y hab�a dejado la escuela a los 14 a�os. Esta pareja joven y dispareja tram� un plan para disfrazarse y simplemente salir del campamento, abordar un tren y dirigirse directamente al coraz�n de la Alemania nazi. Este audaz plan involucr� 18 meses de trabajo encubierto, incluidas 3 horas cada noche que Antony dedic� a ense�arle alem�n a Fred. Partieron hacia la frontera suiza a trav�s de Alemania, pero cuando llegaron a la ciudad fronteriza de Lake Constance, con Suiza a su alcance, Antony cruz� a la libertad, mientras que la suerte de Fred se acab�. Lo que les sucedi� a ambos a continuaci�n es a la vez desgarrador e inspirador.

About this title

Synopsis

Northern Poland, 1940: at the Nazi war camp Stalag XX-A, two men struck up an unlikely friendship which led to one of the most remarkable wartime escape stories ever told. Antony Coulthard was the privately educated son of wealthy parents with a degree in modern languages from Oxford. Fred Foster, the son of a bricklayer, had left school at 14. This mismatched young pair hatched a plan to disguise themselves and simply walk out of the camp, board a train, and head straight into the heart of Nazi Germany. This audacious plan involved 18 months of undercover work, including Antony spending 3 hours each evening teaching Fred German. They set off for the Swiss border via Germany, but when they reached the border town of Lake Constance, with Switzerland within their reach, Antony crossed over into freedom, while Fred’s luck ran out. What happened to them both next is both heartbreaking and inspiring.
