About 150 American officers lived in the camp in 1943, and by 1945, that number had expanded to 1,500. When the German commandant Colonel Fritz Schneider received orders to march all of his prisoners to west Germany to escape the Russians in January 1945, that number declined rapidly as the American officers put into place long-existing escape plans that would make history. In The Big Break, we follow famous POWs, such as General Eisenhower's personal aide, General Patton's son-in-law, and Ernest Hemingway's eldest son, as the first American escapes via a tunnel in a stinking latrine, with almost 250 US officers following closely behind in a mass break. Historian Stephen Dando-Collins chronicles the gripping story of irrepressible Americans determined to be free, brave Poles risking their lives to help them, and dogmatic Nazis determined to stop them"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Oflag 64 (Concentration camp) 610 10 $a United States. $b Army $x Officers $v Biography. $9 72158 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Prisoners and prisons, German. $9 198895 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Concentration camps $z Szubin. $z Szubin. 650 0 $a Prisoner-of-war escapes $z Szubin $z Szubin $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $z Szubin $z Szubin $v Biography. 650 0 $a Americans $z Szubin $z Szubin $v Biography. 650 0 $a Soldiers $z United States $v Biography. $9 202257 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft $9 801916 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft $9 856963 700 1 $a Woodson, Paul, $e narrator. 710 2 $a Recorded Books, Inc., $e publisher. $9 165556 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909043126.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B7FFACB4505611E99CDA2C4797128E48 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
