As the Allied invasion of Normandy launched in the pre-dawn hours of June 6, 1944, Henry Langrehr, an American paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne, was among the thousands who parachuted into occupied France. While many of the soldiers in his unit died, Langrehr and other surviving troops battled enemy tanks to a standstill—until he was captured by the Germans. In this compelling memoir, Langrehr recounts his experiences in a concentration camp, where he saw the effects of the Final Solution firsthand. Knowing they would be worked to death, Langrehr and a friend made a desperate escape, beginning a harrowing two-week odyssey to the safety of Allied lines.
