The famous wartime escape story by ERIC WILLIAMS
' Crash! Bang! Gerdoyng!' The listener is precipitated into the daily life of a German prison camp during the Second World War - a camp for British officers, with its ' goons ' and ' ferrets,' its irritations and discomforts, its humour and ingenious improvisations, its constant preoccupation with plans for escape.
Although Eric Williams calls himself ' Peter Howard ' and gives fictitious names also to his fellow-prisoners, this is a true story. abridged for radio in ten instalments by NAN MACDONALD Reader JOHN BENNETT
