Having endured seven weeks of training with the 2/5th battalion, the Royal Leicestershire Regiment, Horace Greasley was just twenty-years-old when war was declared.

Dive into the magificent and true story of the man who escaped the notorious German concentration camp over 200 times to see his love.

Horace found himself facing the might of the German Army in a mucky and gloomy field south of Cherbourg, Northern France.

But his war didn't last long... on May 1940, Horace was taken to a prisoner-of-war camp in Poland where he fought for survival in a ten-week march to the camp.

Left exhausted and broken, all chances of escaping seemed impossible.

When Horace met Rosa, the daughter of one of his captors, his whole story changed...

Fate had thrown him a lifeline and now he was to risk everything to steal out the camp to see his love and bring back supplies for his fellow prisoners.

A powerful true story of love and survival.
