The famous wartime escape story by ERIC WILLIAMS abridged for radio in ten instalments by NAN MACDONALD Reader John Bennett
' 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.
