| Title:
We Die Alone by David Howarth |
|
Description:
In March 1943 a team of expatriate Norwegian Commandos sailed from the Shetland Islands – the most northerly part of Britain – for Nazi-occupied Norway. Their mission was to organise and support the Norwegian resistance. They were betrayed and only one man survived the ambush by the Nazis. This is the incredible and gripping story of his escape. Crippled by frostbite and snow-blind, hunted by the Nazis, Jan Baalsrud managed to find a tiny arctic village. There – delirious, near death – he found villagers willing to risk their own lives to save him.
