This book was released on 2019-02-22 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: June 30, 1944, fifty members of the United States 460th Bomb Group embarked on an important mission to destroy German oil refineries in Silesia, Hungary, only to come under heavy attack. Above the cloud cover, German twin-engine Me-410 fighters firing 20-millimeter cannons blasted seven B-24s out of the sky. Seventeen U.S. airmen were killed, twenty-four captured, with many burned, wounded, or beaten by Hungarian peasants after parachuting to the ground. This single event marked the beginning of a heart-wrenching episode in the life of one airman: T/Sgt. John L. Lenburg. On his thirty-sixth mission, he was shot down along with the crew of their B-24, “Miss Fortune,” over enemy lines near Lake Balaton, Hungary. Taken prisoner (or “Kriegsgefangenen #6410,” the code name the Germans gave him), he never knew if he would see his homeland again. WALK TO FREEDOM: Kriegsgefangenen #6410 - Prisoner of War is Lenburg’s powerful, compelling account of his 327 days of imprisonment and long walk to freedom eleven months after his capture. Recalling the inhumane treatment and horrific conditions of his encampment, the missions and memories, and the reunions of the few who survived fifty years later, this revised and expanded, illustrated memoir demonstrates why Lenburg and his crew were “the greatest generation” of their time. REVIEWS "A stirring account of experiences in the Army Air Force during World War II and particularly his time in a Nazi prison camp." - Indianapolis Star "A powerful saga of violence, suffering, strength of character and the determination to persevere...a welcome and much appreciated contribution to the growing library of World War II combatant biographies and eye-witness memoirs." --Midwest Book Review

Book excerpt: Matt Groening is a cartoonist, animator, and producer best known for creating "The Simpsons," television's longest-running primetime animated series.

At the time, Groening was already a successful cartoonist, whose "Life in Hell" comic strip appeared in underground newspapers and book collections. The Simpsons became a cultural phenomenon while Groening went to create the animated science-fiction series "Futurama," launch a Simpsons-based publishing company called Bongo Comics, and produce "The Simpsons Movie.""Matt Groening: From Spitballs to Springfield" by Jeff Lenburg describes the life and career of one of animation's most successful artists, known for his unique drawing style and quirky sense of humor.

Download or read book The Shelburne Escape Line written by Reanne Hemingway-Douglass Hemingway-Douglass and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six decades after the end of World War II, new stories about the conflict continue to emerge. One of these is the subject of this book. Written by an American, Ranne Hemingway-Douglass, and published in the UK by Pen & Sword, it has all the elements of a classic covert adventure tale. ??As the book explains, the Shelburne was one of the later escape lines that operated within Nazi-occupied Europe. It was established at the end of 1943 by two agents who worked for MI-9, the London-based military intelligence agency responsible for providing assistance to Allied servicemen stranded behind enemy lines. Working with the French Resistance, these agents arranged for groups of Allied airmen to be taken from "safe houses" in Paris to Brittany, where a Royal Navy motor gunboat picked them up from a secluded beach and delivered them back to England. Eight audacious evacuation operations were conducted between January and August, 1944, without the Shelburne Line ever being infiltrated by the Gestapo.??Aspects of the Shelburne story have been told previously in memoirs by several of the participants, including the late MP Airey Neave, who was an MI-9 operative. However, Hemingway-Douglass expands the story to include recollections of some of the local Breton people who were involved with the Line. The second half of the book comprises personal stories of airmen and other individuals who were affiliated with the Shelburne Line or were otherwise caught up in the war in France. ??A lifelong Francophile, Hemingway-Douglass took eight years to research and write the book. She describes it as a Òlabor of love that pays tribute to the heroism and courage of 'ordinary' people, while reinforcing the fact that war touches everybody.Ó

Book excerpt: FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED NOVEL, SCARED TO DEATH, COMES HIS LATEST PAGE-TURNER Luke Beckett is anything but your average Hollywood vice squad detective. A cop who refuses to play the game, he is like some Avenging Angel always quick to judge, and to punish with his rock-hard fists those who don’t see his way. Forced to resign after a prostitute bust goes awry, he accepts a police lieutenant position in that God-forsaken place, Palm Springs, where there is hardly enough action to keep his blood circulating. That all changes when his ex-wife Marcia, since re-married to an aging American tycoon and one of Palm Springs’ wealthiest, most influential residents, is found murdered at a swank party under suspicious circumstances with hardly a clue. Assigned to investigate her murder, this short-tempered, superbly trained former big city cop finds more than he expects—a secret romance with a lesbian lover and possible mob connections to her untimely death and assassination attempt on his own life—in this engaging, thought-provoking original hard-boiled mystery.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER in THE MIUTABT ORGANIZATION OF THE PBISONEB OF WAB AUGUST 1st, 1916, the number of prisoners of war officially given out by the German Government was as follows: OFFICERS MEN French 6847 348,731 Russians 9019 1,202,871 Belgians 666 41,751 British 947 29,956 Servians 22,914 Total 1,646,223 These prisoners were distributed in 105 prison camps. In addition to these camps for men and noncommissioned officers there were camps for commissioned officers. In addition to this there were three camps for civilians interned and one camp for reserve officers. Inasmuch as the problem must be considered as essentially a military problem and inasmuch as the dictum of the German officers, That good soldiers make good prisoners, we will consider these phases of the problem. As a military problem one would naturally expect like other military matters it would be organized and treated with the greatest efficiency. That it was not handled with complete efficiency, that certain glaring defects developed from time to time was due largely to the fact that it was an entirely new problem, and in its magnitude, was unexpected. Evidently no forethought or provision had been made for it; like other military operations it could not have been a part of military manoeuvres or military practice. To house and provide food and guard one and a half millions of men, at a time when all the forces of the nation were centred on the destruction of the opposing army will I think be admitted to be a rather large problem. Just as soon, however, as the problem of housing and care in concentrated camps was worked out in a fairly satisfactory manner, the labor and food problem in Germany led to the employment of at least 80 per cent of the prisoners of war in mercantile and agricultura...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet the real Lorenzo Lamas. Lorenzo Lamas has played many roles over the course of his roller coaster career. Star of two major television shows, five-time husband, and reality show star, Lamas has been tabloid fodder for decades. Fans can easily believe they have seen every side of Lamas. But the truth is far more interesting—and surprising. Son of film stars Fernando Lamas and Arlene Dahl, and stepson of swimmer and actress Esther Williams, Lorenzo was born into Hollywood royalty. But his path was not easy. Overweight and aimless as a child, he found it hard to live up to the expectations of his famous father, whose exploits made him the inspiration for the "most interesting man in the world." But Lorenzo surprised everyone, shaping up and ultimately winning countless black belts in tae kwon do and karate. Despite his father's early discouragement, he pursued acting, starring in Falcon Crest and Renegade. In Renegade at Heart, the Emmy– and Golden Globe–nominated actor pulls back the curtain to share his startling and explosive story—the money and notoriety, the fights and falling outs, his years of battling abandonment and attachment issues after his parents' divorce, his epic romances and tabloid—making marriages to his four ex-wives. He delves deep into his relationships with his six children and with his famous father, whose penetrating words of wisdom have guided him through turbulent times and to a sense of renewal and new beginnings. Featuring 50 rare, never-before-shared family and personal photographs from his private collection, Renegade at Heart is everything Lamas's millions of fans have been waiting for—the unvarnished truth and his side of his remarkable journey and fully fleshed rumination of the highs and lows of an extraordinary life and survival of an extraordinary man and actor.
