"Copiously detailed and illustrated, by an archaeologist who led a dig at Stalag Luft III." -World War II Magazine(May 2009) "...Prisoner of War in Germanyis a great primer for those not familiar with the experience of the WW2-era prisoners of war in Germany, and it makes this reader speculate whether there would be a similar title about the experience of British, Commonwealth, and American POWs in Japanese camps." - C Peter Chen,World War 2 Database - ww2.db.com(February 2009), "Copiously detailed and illustrated, by an archaeologist who led a dig at Stalag Luft III." - World War II Magazine (May 2009) "Germany is not known for its hospitality during World War II. Prisoners of War in Germany is a look at prisoners of war who were captured during World War II, as the result of many bloody conflicts along the German border. This is the story of these American and BRitish soldiers who lived their lives being forced into hard labor by their enemies, hoping their allies would eventually come to their aid. Illustrated with full color photos, and cartoons from the time, Prisoners of War in Germany is a vivid picture of the lives these men faced.
