By Mark Felton, this paperback edition was published in 2014 by Icon Books. Spanning approximately 320 pages, the book recounts the remarkable escape of 40 Allied officers from the German POW camp Oflag VI-B in Warburg, Germany, on the night of 30 August 1942. Dubbed ‘Zero Night,’ this audacious breakout involved scaling the camp’s double perimeter fences using wooden ladders disguised as bookshelves, a method known as the ‘Warburg Wire Job.’ The escape was described by fellow prisoner and fighter ace Douglas Bader as ‘the most brilliant escape conception of this war.’ Felton’s narrative delves into the meticulous planning, the daring execution, and the subsequent adventures of those who eluded capture, highlighting the courage of the civilians who assisted them in enemy territory. This gripping account offers a fresh perspective on one of World War II’s most daring escapes.
