Description
March 1945. Three escaped POWs in a fishing boat on the Baltic Sea are attacked by a lone Luftwaffe fighter plane. The sole survivor, Tom Mueller, an Australian, is rescued by a British submarine and finally makes a "home run" after four long years in captivity.
Tom's London debrief retells his amazing odyssey. Captured during the ill-fated defence of Greece, a series of desperate escapes and heartbreaking recapture, follow prior to his last and most audacious escape.
The US agency, the Office of Strategic Services, approach Tom to lead a covert team back into Germany, to the city of Lubeck. The mission: to rescue a family of an important scientist before the Red Army's arrival. But will a mentally scarred POW be willing to go back into Germany?
Tom's return to Nazi Germany in its dying days reveals a hidden agenda, love, betrayal and serendipity.
