Publisher's Synopsis
In the summer of 1945, American aviator Alan Harrison Newcomb found himself in an unexpected situation: as a prisoner of war in a German rest camp. Rather than wallowing in despair, Newcomb made the most of the experience, soaking up the local culture and making connections with his fellow prisoners. His account of his time in the camp is laced with humor and satire, but also offers a sobering look at the aftermath of war. A rare and captivating memoir.
