Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Peter Stevens was a German-Jewish refugee who escaped Nazi persecution as a teenager in 1933. He joined the RAF in 1939 and after eighteen months of pilot training he started flying bombing missions against his own country. He completed twenty-two missions before being shot down and taken prisoner by the Nazis in September 1941. To escape became his raison d'etre and his great advantage was that he was in his native country. He was recaptured after each of his several escapes, but the Nazis never realised his true identity. He took part in the logistics and planning of several major breakouts, including The Great Escape, but was never successful in getting back to England. After liberation, when the true nature of his exploits came to light, he was awarded the Military Cross. He then served as a British spy at the beginning of the Cold War before emigrating to Canada to resume a normal life.This is the story of a heavily conflicted young man, alone in a world that is in the midst of destruction. He is afforded an opportunity to help his persecuted people to obtain a small measure of revenge. It is at once a sad yet uplifting tale of thankless and unheralded heroism.

Peter Stevens (1919-1979) was a German-Jewish teenage refugee who escaped Nazi Persecution in 1933. Still a German citizen, he committed identity theft to join the RAF in 1939, where he completed 22 missions against his own country before being shot down and taken prisoner by the Nazis in September, 1941. His desire to escape did not falter despite being recaptured several times, and he remained an active participant in logistics and planning for several major breakouts, including the Great Escape. After liberation, he was awarded the Military Cross and served as a British spy at the beginning of the Cold War before emigrating to Canada to resume a civilian life. This book tells the remarkable story of a deeply conflicted young man afforded an opportunity to help his persecuted people obtain a small measure of revenge, a tale that is at once sad yet uplifting. The book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of Bomber Command during the war, or those interested in Jewish history and the Holocaust. Ref EE 6.…
