As Far As My Feet Will Carry Me - The True Story Of Clemens Forell
" Reminiscent of Slavomir Rawicz's classic The Long Walk, an amazing narrative of escape and survival. In 1944, German paratrooper Clemens Forell was captured by the Soviets and sentenced to twenty-five years of labor in a Siberian lead mine. In the Gulags, this was virtually a death sentence. Driven to desperation by the brutality of the prison camp, he staged a daring escape. For the next three years, Forell traveled 8,000 miles in barren, frozen wilderness, haunted by blizzards, wolves, criminals, the KGB, and the fear of recapture and retribution. Only a remarkable will to survive, and a bit of luck, allowed him to reach the safety of the Persian border. The resulting story is a rare document of the horrors faced by POWs in the Soviet Union, and a testament to the human spirit." Has anyone here seen this? It looks and sounds like an incredible story, one your "greatest generation" idiots are probably completely ignorant of. Germans preforming heroic acts before and after the war? What are you some neo-nazi? |

Just to think, not only to survive the Soviet Gulag, where tens of millions died but to escape from it, and make it from Siberia to Iran?! Makes proud to be of German blood, and only reinforces my WN determination!
