| "In March 1945, an estimated 73,535 soldiers and airmen of the US Army and Army Air Force were interned as German prisoners of war in the European Theater of Operations (ETO). From 1942 until late 1944, the majority of these POWs were airmen, shot down over the Third Reich and other German-occupied countries of Europe. Over 10,000 of these airmen, including those who flew for the British Royal Air Force, were eventually sent to Stalag Luft IV, the largest and most notorious of the camps administered by the German Luftwaffe. In early February, 1945, The Soviet Winter Offensive into Eastern Europe forced the evacuation of their camp, resulting in an epic 86-day forced "Hunger March" across northern Germany. The story of C-lager is about one of these young men, Sergeant Donald Dorfmeier, and the other airmen in his compound who participated in the 86-day trek across northern Germany. Fittingly, the story chronicles the heroism and spirit of the airmen who served in the Army Air Corps and exhibited the courage and inspiration to persevere in spite of great hardships and suffering that would haunt them "for many years to come.""-- |
