After seven weeks training in the British Army, Horace Greasley was taken captive in May 1940 and forced to endure a ten week march across France and Belgium. Later incarcerated in a prison camp in Poland, Greasley embarked on an incredible love affair with a German girl interpreting for his captors. As he neared age 90, Greasley finally told his tale, recounting how he broke out of his POW camp over 200 times, maintaining an impossible romance even as he smuggled food and radio parts back to his fellow prisoners.
