PAN Book - Freedom The Spur - Gordon Instone M.M.

Unlike typical WWII escape stories that take place behind the barbed wire of stalags, Instone's narrative features a raw, immediate 900-mile journey on foot across Nazi-occupied France.

 Instone was part of the British forces desperately defending Calais in 1940. Ill-prepared and facing imminent annihilation, he survived a blast that killed three of his comrades.

 He was captured by the Germans at Calais but managed to escape three separate times before ever being locked into a formal POW camp, evading recapture through sheer grit and a series of high-stakes, impromptu decisions.
