Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: very good. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. [2], 205, [1] pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. Claire Swedberg is a freelance journalist, published author and writing instructor in La Conner, Washington. Work Commando 311/I follows their terrible, exciting story-told through… the combined recollections of the survivors-from their early combat experiences to the Allied triumph at the end of World War II. Compelling narrative tells how brave American POWs endured sadistic guards, heavy labor, hunger, and homesickness, and eventually regained their cherished freedom. Survival was the captives' goal, and along the way they suffered sadistic guards, hostile civilians, bitter cold, loneliness, malnutrition, and illness. In the Work Commando 311/I, Nazis forced them to work as slave laborers, repairing and maintaining German railroads that had been damaged by Allied bombs. The ill, weary prisoners, once proud members of elite U.S. fighting units, suffered unaccustomed disgrace. Tired of the men's morose outlook and individualistic ways, Herbert Marlowe, their unofficial leader, held a meeting one evening in the barn loft. Marlowe explained that their infighting and irritability were not only keeping their spirits low by also amusing the Germans. He encouraged the prisoners to retaliate against their captors in careful, nonthreatening ways. Jones suggested that they work slowly, looking busy while accomplishing little. Then all the men began to contribute schemes to steal bread, turnips, beets, and coal. A glimmer of hope and a feeling of comradeship made their wretched situation more bearable. Soon they were working together to confound the Nazis in every way possible, and some prisoners even attempted escape. First edition [stated]. First printing [stated].
