We Die Alone: A WWII Epic of Escape and Endurance
by David Howarth
Listened to the audio version. Usually I can listen to books a little faster than normal speed but not this one. I didn’t want to miss anything so kept it at normal speed.
Amazing true story of how one man survived escaping the Germans with the help of Norwegians during WWII. He was caught in an avalanche, buried alive, left on a plateau, had frost bitten toes and cut them off himself with a pocket knife! The story is incredible! And to all the people who helped him under the German’s noses- talk about good Samaritans. The ending was quite abrupt and it could have had a little more at the end.
Here’s an article in The NY Times that I found that highlights the story:

The is another book, “Defiant Courage” and a couple movies - one on Netflix, The 12th Man, out about this story also.
