Savage Will: The Daring Escape of Americans Trapped Behind Nazi Lines

Autor Timothy M. Gay
en Limba Engleză Paperback – sep 2014 – vârsta de la 18 ani
In the tradition of incredible true stories from "The Great Escape" to" Argo," "Savage Will "recounts a tale of survival, daring, and evasion behind enemy lines: that of American medics and nurses stranded for two months in Nazi-occupied Albania.
In 1943, men and women of the 807th Medical Air Evacuation Squadron boarded a routine flight from Sicily to the Italian mainland to care for wounded soldiers. En route, their plane drifted hundreds of miles off course and crash-landed in remote mountainous Albania.
The unarmed Americans were trapped hundreds of blizzard-plagued miles from Allied lines, in a country torn apart by rival bands of pro- and anti-German guerrillas. Hunted by German soldiers, the castaways relied on what one survivor called their "savage will" to elude their enemy and find their way to freedom.
What followed is the most thrilling untold story of World War II--a saga reaching from President Roosevelt and top Allied intelligence officials to a host of brave Albanian Resistance fighters, the British and U.S. Mediterranean air forces, and the dashing English lieutenant and the tenacious American captain sent behind enemy lines to carry out a heroic rescue.
