The Shetland Bus: A WWII Epic of Escape, Survival, and Adventure by David Howarth
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.2mb
Overview: DURING THE GERMAN OCCUPATION of Norway, from 1940 to 1945, every Norwegian knew that small boats were constantly sailing from the Shetland Isles to Norway to land weapons and supplies and to rescue refugees. The Norwegians who stayed in Norway and struggled there against the invaders were fortified by this knowledge, and gave the small boats the familiar name which is used for the title of this book: `to take the Shetland bus’ became a synonym in Norway for escape when danger was overwhelming. This record of the adventures of the Norwegian sailors who manned the boats is offered as a tribute from an English colleague to Norwegian seamanship, and as a humble memorial to those who lost their lives.
