Password Courage by Castle (20 results)

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The man who broke into Auschwitz. When he was captured in France in 1940 Sergeant-Major Charles Coward launched his own private war against the Germans (although he was being held as a prisoner-of-war). For several years he was the most incredible amateur espionage and sabotage agent of World War Two, opposing the Nazis while sending back vital information to England. He escaped from captivity nine times and was, eventually, sent to Auschwitz III (a labour camp just five miles from Auschwitz II, the extermination camp). He carried guns and dynamite for the Polish underground movement, traded in dead bodies (by swapping the corpses of dead prisoners for Jewish prisoners, allowing the prisoners to escape) and, finally, he smuggled himself into Auschwitz where he witnessed the full horrors of the extermination camp. This is one of the most heroic and extraordinary stories of World War Two. Charles Coward fought the might of the Nazi army and won, his courage is testament to the indomitable human spirit facing overwhelming odds. At the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials Coward's testimony was sensational, allowing over 2,000 Auschwitz survivors to file lawsuits for compensations against their former oppressors.

Paperback. (This is the story of a great man with the unlikely and most unfitting name of Coward (Sergeant Charles Coward R.A.). Coward was taken prisioner at the beginning of the war by the Germans and this is his account of his time in captivity. Unlike most books of this genre it is not the story of of the officer classes fighting the boredom of the Stalag by thinking up 'wizard pranks' to infuriate the Hun. It is more a story of what happened to the 'other ranks' made to work, sometimes in terrible conditions. The book was made into a film in the '50's starring Dirk Bogarde as Coward).
