Perhaps because the real No 1 POW Camp (Officers) Grizedale teases a sense of naïve romance in the midst of a horrendous war, and because of the heroic stature of Commander Otto Kruger, who was modeled after the real Otto Kretschmer, Germany's most successful U-boat captain prior to his capture and internment at Grizedale Hall. In the second book of the series, A Forrest of Eagles U-boat officer Leutnant Karl Moehe "has vital information on the behaviour of the T5 torpedoes that he has to get home." Remarkable for the number and ingenuity of his attempted escapes, accident prone Moehe, who has managed to break an arm while in hospital, is also known as "Unglückish Moehe" unlucky Moehe. His trials make up the first of the four parts of the novel all of which are well worth the read. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
In No. 1 POW Camp (Officers), Grizedale Hall in the Lake District, the senior German officer, Otto Kruger, has problems. The POW officers under his command are becoming increasingly impatient with his autocratic regime, which forbids all escape attempts unless they've been properly planned. These stories of life in the camp range from the tragic to the bizarre, and the battle of wits between Kruger and his captors draws together such diverse characters as Ian Fleming and Beatrix Potter, in a story that has the British in the unfamiliar roles of guards and captors.
