“. . . I don’t lay claim to much of a horror tale. Mine pales into insignificance when compared with some of the experiences of others here. Last of all, it’s considered bad taste, a breach of “kriegie” etiquette to tell terror tales. We’re all just a bit tired of them. So, I’ll just skip all that and confine this log to a few notes . . .” – Taken from Alfred R. Mock’s Log Book of Prisoner-of-War Days in Stalag Luft 1

Alfred Mock’s World War II memoir in the U.S. Army Air Force stands out because of the incredible detail this bombardier shared from the time of his entry into the military service straight through to his liberation from Germany’s Stalag Luft I prisoner-of-war camp, journey home and beyond. Christopher Gregoire chronicles Al Mock’s war experience from a “feet on the ground” perspective that compels one to read on.
