Escape from the Third Reich

The audiobook recounts the Swedish Red Cross expedition to German concentration camps in March-April 1945, the largest rescue operation in Germany during World War II, led by Count Bernadotte of Wisborg. Known as the 'White Buses' due to their distinctive all-white painting, the mission facilitated the transport of at least 17,000 prisoners to Sweden amidst chaotic wartime conditions. This first English edition unveils the full story, including Bernadotte's perilous journey to Ravensbruck and his negotiations with Heinrich Himmler, offering new insights and previously unpublished photographs.
