It moves quickly to the campaign in Crete, where he serves as a Sniper, and from there to 3 and half years of incarceration in a German POW camp. He and a mate escape several times, finally meeting up with the Partisans in Yugoslavia who rescue them and guide them to safety. Soft cover, photographs, 219 pages.
