description: An airman's adventures in occupied Europe - a story of great courage and self-sacrifice. On only his second bombing mission in the Second World War, Jim Davies was shot down over Holland. For the next six months, he found sanctuary among incredibly brave Dutch civilians. Alas, the escape they planned for him went disastrously wrong, and he was to endure the hardships of a prisoner-of-war camp in Poland. With the rapid advance of the Russian 'Allies', the prisoners had assumed that they would be liberated. However, their captors took them westward as they themselves retreated. How any of them survived the nightmare march for hundreds of miles across central Europe was amazing.
