Description
Behind Enemy Lines with the SOE by Major Ernest Barker Bem is a gripping account of one man's survival against all odds during World War II. In 1944, Sergeant Roland Barker was parachuted into the Dolomites as part of Operation Arundel, tasked with causing chaos in the area and infiltrating Austria. Despite being captured by German troops, Barker recounts his harrowing experiences in the hands of the SS and Gestapo, and his eventual escape from Stalag Luft XVIII. Barker's story is one of defiance and resilience, as he navigated the treacherous landscape of war-torn Europe. After surviving captivity, he was eventually repatriated to the UK, where he went on to have a distinguished military career, rising through the ranks to become Officer Commanding 22 SAS in Malaya. This book offers a unique insight into the world of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) and the bravery of those who served during World War II. With its vivid account of Barker's wartime experiences, Behind Enemy Lines with the SOE is a compelling read for anyone interested in military history or true stories of survival.
