Churchill's White Rabbit (37 page)

27. Buchenwald Bodies – Forest’s grimmest task was gathering the dead; it was often overwhelming and each corpse had to be stripped before disposal. (Copyright Zairon/Wikimedia Commons)

28. The no-man’s-land Forest had to cross as the last portion of his escape attempt was all too reminiscent of the First World War. He did not make it across, being captured at the last minute by Germans.

29. Forest’s final bid for freedom involved running through a minefield with gunfire all around.

30.The Ian Fleming letter commenting on the amazing survival of Forest, and the picture of him on file. (By permission of The National Archives)
