Such an incredible story

This book deals with paratroopers from the. 82nd airborne division that were captured in holland and spent the rest of the war as prisoners of the Germans. It chronicals their struggle to survive the work camp they were sent to and the deprivations they suffered. I know have a better understanding of what Tom brokow called the greatest generation. But one needs to remember all the men who have fought for our country and have died or been prisoners of war.
