Preview ESCAPE FROM ARNHEM - A Glider Pilot's Story
This is the remarkable true story of a young British Army Glider Pilot's experience of the last days in the defense of Arnhem Bridge in September 1944, leading to his eventual capture and then escape from German Forces inside that area. After making contact successfully with the Dutch Resistance, he undertook a hair-raising 4 week journey throughout occupied Europe behind the German Front Lines before eventually returning to the UK after crossing back into Allied Controlled Territory.
The text is interspersed with flashbacks to the author's childhood and early training, capturing the true spirit of an atypically modest yet outstandingly brave young Serviceman from the wartime era.
This manuscript was Written by Godfrey John Freeman, born 4 June 1924 in Hook Norton, Oxfordshire England who passed on 9th January 1999 peacefully in The Churchill Hospital, Oxford, Leaving both his two sons Mark and Karl and their mother, his wife, Sheila Freeman behind.
