Letters from Stalag Luft 3

<p>They met at a dancehall in Doncaster - Arthur Garwell a young Bomber Command pilot and Joan Shepherd a vivacious but sensitive young woman. He had survived thirty nighttime raids into enemy territory; she had survived a childhood of loss and trauma. It was 1941 and the world was at war. </p><p>Months later the Lancaster bomber he was piloting lay broken and burning after the fateful daylight raid on Augsburg deep in southern Germany. Flight Lieutenant Garwell now a prisoner of Hitler's Third Reich had been torn apart from his new love.</p><p>Escape recapture solitary confinement and a desperate march to freedom through the snow and ice of a bitter winter lay ahead before Arthur and Joan were reunited. But as they set out on their new life together in a Britain ravaged by austerity another very different battle awaited. </p><p><strong><em>Letters from Stalag Luft 3 </em></strong>is a true story of bravery and survival love and loss - both his and hers - told by their son.</p>
