Description

Willy Field's story is one of survival and sacrifice. Born in Bonn, Germany, he was arrested by the Gestapo after Kristallnacht in 1938 and sent to Dachau concentration camp. His experiences there are detailed in this book, which also follows his journey as a refugee to England. Field went on to become a tank driver in the Royal Armoured Corps, fighting for 11 months on the frontlines in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. He was one of the few who survived the dangers of war, and his story is a testament to the bravery and resilience of those who fought against the Nazis. Helen Fry's biography sheds new light on Field's remarkable life, from his early days as a German Jew to his time in England during World War II.
