An off-beat WWII story.
When Horace Greasley (2nd/5th Leicesters) is captured in Europe, he's marched here and there as a POW, arriving at Saubsdorf POW camp in Czechoslovakia, close to the Polish border. There he falls head over heels in love with Rosa, an interpreter who hates the Nazis. He figures out how to get out of the camp, using the same route allegedly over 200 times, to spend many an hour canoodling with her. The book is not without moments of the harsh realities of poor rations, beatings and murders that go with war, but added into the mix are episodes of intimacy.
