Product Overview

The biography of an Irish POW in World War II. Harry Callan was among 32 Irishmen imprisoned in a labor camp for refusing a Gestapo request to work for Germany. They were starved, beaten, and forced to dig the foundations for a Nazi super-structure codenamed Bunker Valentin - an immense U-boat factory. Thousands of the camp's prisoners perished, including five of the Irishmen. The surviving Irishmen, including Harry, were saved by the goodwill of decent Germans. This is the gripping story of Harry's capture, resistance, and liberation. But above all, it is the final chapter in his quest to honor the forgotten heroes of Bunker Valentin. With black & white photos.
