American paratroopers become forced laborers for the Nazis. It's written by Claire E. Swedberg. It's a story about American prisoners mostly paratroopers from the 101st and 82nd Airborne who were captured,sent to Stalag XII-A, the massive prison compound in Linburg,Germany. They were treated extremely harshly by there Nazi guards and it tells how proud members of these elite fighting units managed to survive until the end of the war.......Good read, if your interested I can send it to anyone who may want to read it.
