The most dangerous POWs, the ones most talented at escaping, were sent to the camp of Holzminden--better known as "Hellminden." A land-locked Alcatraz of sorts, its rules enforced with cruel precision, the prison was the pride of a ruthless commandant named Karl Niemeyer. This is the story of a group of ingenious and defiant Allied soldiers and pilots who dared to escape from Holzminden, right under Niemeyer's nose. Leading a team that tunneled through the prison's foundation and far beyond its walls, these breakout artists forged documents, smuggled in supplies, and bribed guards. Twice the tunnel was almost exposed, and the whole plan foiled. But in the end, a group of ten prisoners escaped and made it out of enemy territory in the biggest POW breakout of World War I, inspiring their countrymen in the darkest hours of the fight."--Dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 940.47243 Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 940.47243 Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 940.4723 Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 940.47243 Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 940.47243 Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 940.47243 Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 940.47243 Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimea Public Library (Kauai) YA -- Nonfiction 940.47243 Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList
