Meer over het boek

"During the Second World War some 10,000 Germans and Austrians volunteered to join the British Forces. Most were refugees, but there were also others. From 1939 to 1943 most served in the eighteen so-called Alien Companies of the Pioneer Corps. After 1943 almost all branches of the services were opened to them and they used the opportunity to its fullest extent."
