The Flame Keepers: The True Story of an American Soldier's Survival Inside Stalag 17 Hardcover – June 2, 2004

by Ned Handy (Author), Kemp Battle (Author) 

 

      Ned Handy was captured by Germans in April 1944, after his B-24 was shot down. Sent to Stalag 17, the infamous Nazi prison camp, Handy soon led an escape team determined to tunnel to freedom. Along with the unforgettable comrades he vividly describes, Handy worked relentlessly for months on a tunnel that was to prove instrumental in saving the lives of four fugitives sought by the Gestapo. One of those fugitives would become the only American ever to escape permanently from Stalag 17.
