This was a humorous read that reminded me of the TV show from the 1960s called Hogan's Heros. A Cage of Eagles is about a World War Two prison camp in Northern England that houses German prisoners. Different humorous antics take place all focused on either escape or intelligence gathering. ( )

Based on true events, this novel concerns German Prisoners of War held in Britain at Grizedale Hall.

It follows their exploits, attempts at escape and attempts to relay information back to German High Command.

It's a light, yet interesting and enthralling read. ( )

Clever blend of fact and fiction in story of a German PoW camp in Grizedale in the Lake District. An interesting, minor character is Ian Fleming, as a naval intelligence officer ( )
