The Nazi Ghost Train

A Sunday Times bestseller. The courage and audacity of a small group of ordinary people were the last hope for hundreds who had risked all for the Allied cause in World War II. As they watched the railway station fill up with men and women, they pledged that the train would never reach Germany... They had the next few hours to work a miracle. The true story of how more than 1,400 men and women of the Resistance, SOE agents, and airmen from Britain, the US and Canada were saved from death in a concentration camp by the courage and cunning of a small group of civilians. The Nazi Ghost Train unfolds in a pulse-pounding narrative, describing the terror of being shot down on bombing missions, the fight to stay free and alive with Gestapo on your tail, and the gut wrenching horror of betrayal. Drawing upon a wealth of primary sources and extensive interviews, The Nazi Ghost Train brings to life a cast of unforgettable characters.
