"Fifty-plus years after the events, reading your Log brought back stark details; I have relived some very disturbing and unpleasant situations, as well as some less serious moments. I had forgotten much of what happened when we were captured in Italy by the Jerries and confined as POWs in Stalag VII-A.
        I believe my copy of your book helped in getting the compensation benefits I now receive, because the VA removed certain pages from it to document my disability claim. Your book has meant a lot to me and I re-read sections of it from time to time."
