Product Information
At 6:30 a.m. on 27 January 1945, Col. Friedrich von Lindeiner, the court martialed and exiled gentleman ex-Commandant of Stalag Luft III, sat in the waiting room of the Goerlitz train station hoping to return to Sagan, Germany, to fight the approaching Russians. The distance from Goerlitz to Sagan was 28.5 miles. He arrived fifteen hours later as 10,000 Allied prisoners of war were evacuating his former camp. Like them, he would soon view the war from both inside and outside the barbed wire. Later, as a prisoner of war, he was held by the British for two years before returning to a devastated and divided Germany.Product Identifiers
