Eagles Last Flight

Brian J Turner

In a forest near the modern-day city of Gdansk, Poland, four RAF officers were murdered in March 1944. At that time, the territory was controlled by Nazi Germany and its leader, Adolf Hitler. These and other killings were carried out by the German secret police, the Geheime Staatspolizei - more commonly known as the 'Gestapo'. The four men murdered were not spies or saboteurs but prisoners of war. They had escaped from a camp in the German province of Silesia but they had committed no crime, as such, they should have been protected by the rules of war. Together with other RAF officers, these four airmen-two British, one Belgian and one Lithuanian-managed to escape through a tunnel from the Luftwaffe camp in Sagan on the night of 24-25 March 1944. This book aims to correct popular misconceptions about the deaths of these four RAF officers and to shed light on what occurred following the mass breakout that so enraged the Nazi f?hrer, Adolf Hitler. It aims to tell the truth of how these brave men died in a remote area of woodland so far from their homes.
