Most of the great escape stories have been concerned with the exploits of officer prisoners of war. Less well known were those of the large number of RAF NCO pilots, observers and airgunners who fell into German hands. A particularly notorious NCO camp was Heydekrug on the Baltic Coast from where, Warrant Officer George Grimson succeeded in establishing an escape route within Nazi Germany itself. The author was himself a POW and an eyewitness to the unfolding drama of the Grimson escape saga.

A remarkable escape story. The author was captured in 1940. He escaped across Northern France to Brittany and made his way to the coast following the route of the invading armies. He crossed the Seine by means of a half-built pontoon bridge. His first attempt to cross the Channel was thwarted when his boat headed for German occupied waters around St Helier. On the second attempt he escaped from Cherbourg to England in the summer of 1940.
