Just read a great book about WW2
Permalink  

It is a book about the German and Italian POWs in WA during WW2, No 16 POW Camp, 4 Kms out of Dwellingup, (100 Kms south of Perth) never knew about this or that we had POWs in WA

Found out there is a face book page as well that high lights some of the events, the book is full of photos and detailed historical information, amazing amount of research must of gone in to compiling the book and it is a fascinating read, highly recommend it.

Welcome to GN's Marrinup. You failed to mention name of book and publisher, which would help us find it.

If this reply is not too late try

Entombed

It is based on a true story about 6 soldiers being entombed in an underground cellar for over 6 years in Poland from 1945 until 1951. It was an amazing story of how they came to be there and how some of them survived for that time. Without giving the story away, you will be hanging out to find out the end result of what happened and also what happened to the Officer In Charge's wife during that time. I guarantee that you will not be able to put it down.
