Catholic Focus   The Forgotten



May 14, 2014 - An all-time classic for movie buffs, The Great Escape is the true story of a group of Allied prisoners of war who managed to escape from an allegedly impenetrable Nazi prison camp during the Second World War. But beyond the fame of those memorable roles played by Hollywood stars there were many others who risked their lives and might be all but forgotten, if it weren’t for the work of military historian Nathan M. Greenfield. Greenfield’s research shines the spotlight on these lesser-known men and their valuable contribution, among them 17 French Canadian priests and brothers who would in their own way “harass and confound the enemy” as they helped prisoners escape from POW Camp: Stalag Luft III. Join host Cheridan Sanders as military historian Nathan M. Greenfield shares highlights from his latest book, The Forgotten: Canadian POWs, Escapers and Evaders in Europe, 1939-45
