Despite the growing number of applications, the American policy continued to focus on a gradual and limited wave of emigration, rather than solving a refugee crisis.
It follows the plight of the SAS during Operation Galia as, exhausted and pursued by the enemy, they were exfiltrated across the Apennine mountains, and introduces POW Ralph Churches who orchestrated the largest successful Allied escape of the entire war. I thought you might be interested in seeing the list of talks, the vast majority of which were in Norwich and surrounding area. Escaping Hitler's Bunker' describers the fear and plotting of political and military leaders, trapped in Hitler's bunker, unable to flee until Hitler commits suicide.The second deals with an escape over Mont Altissimo in the Apennines as a group look to escape from northern into southern Italy. I visited Joe this afternoon in his Norwich Care Home to find his two lovely daughters, Jane and Johanna, sharing his day with him. But it was a weekly biographical interview feature, 'Meeting People', published in the Farnham Herald newspaper during the 1990s, that unwittingly prepared her for this debut full-length biography Escaping Hitler. From 1924 emigrants had to arrange to be admitted at an American consulate in the country of origin before they left.
Actually, during the war it was near the town of Sagan in Lower Silesia in then Germany (which is now Zagan Poland). What begins with a harrowing journey culminates in an inspiring portrayal of one man's determination to succeed through hard work, civic duty and kindness. Refusing to let the tragedy of the Holocaust embitter him and ruin the rest of his life, he brought energy and drive to community and charity projects, becoming Sheriff of Norwich, and built a successful and respected business in the city. There's also Australian Ralph Churches, who orchestrated the mass escape of 100 POWs from Slovenia - the largest successful Allied escape of the entire war. Peter appears on a photo that I show at every public talk – he is the second from the left on the plough.

I really liked how the book moved between the retelling of these escape stories, and the author’s travels and treks of the locations, decades later. The well-illustrated 'ESCAPING HITLER'S BUNKER' is a page turner, giving the reader a glimpse of the fear gripping the leaders of the Third Reich, and the fate of escape parties. Delighted to have been invited to give an online talk about Escaping Hitler and the life of Joe Stirling.
The Commanding Officer made a speech, thanking everyone for his or her valuable contribution to the victory, even if they hadn’t been involved at the front line. A super glossy book, filled with colour photos of the locations as they are today, and mono ones of what they looked like at the time, this is your guide to the last days in the Fuhrerbunker and what happened to to the leaders of the Third Reich. Phyllida Scrivens tells this epic story in clear, precise prose, never missing a beat as the drama unfolds.
I was fortunate to meet her on a number of occasions, and once she even stayed the night in our guest bedroom after we’d hosted a Liberal Democrat gathering to celebrate her autobiography. Escaping Hitler is the true story, covering ninety years, of a fourteen-year-old boy Gunter Stern who, when Adolf Hitler threatened hisfamily, education and future, resolved to escape from his rural village of Nickenich in the German Rhineland.
These are just some of the stories told in heart-stopping detail as Monty Halls takes us along the freedom trails out of occupied Europe, from the immense French escape lines to lesser-known routes in Italy and Slovenia.As you are aware, Joe was very special to me, not just as the subject of my first book, but as my friend and confidant.
