A follow-up to the best-selling A Cage of Eagles ? stories from No. 1 PoW Camp (Officers) Grizedale Hall in the Lake District It is now 1942 and the quickening pace of the war brings new problems for the senior German officer, U-boat "ace" Otto Kruger. The PoW officers under his command are becoming increasingly impatient with his autocratic regime, which forbids all escape bids unless they've been properly planned. The stories range from the grim, such as "Unlucky" Moehe ? a U-boat officer desperate to get home with priceless information on the operational trials of Germany's new acoustic torpedo, to the tragic when Kruger refuses to allow his fellow officers to be shackled, to the bizarre when the PoWs secretly fatten up a stolen pig. The battle of wits between Kruger and his captors draws together such diverse characters as Ian Fleming and Beatrix Potter in a story that has the British in the unfamiliar roles of guards and captors. It is a battle that the Germans fight with fortitude, determination, and humour.
