Overview

They met at a dancehall in Doncaster - Arthur Garwell, a young Bomber Command pilot, and Joan Shepherd, a vivacious, but sensitive, young woman. He had survived thirty nighttime raids into enemy territory; she had survived a childhood of loss and trauma. It was 1941 and the world was at war. Months later, the Lancaster bomber he was piloting lay broken and burning after the fateful daylight raid on Augsburg, deep in southern Germany. Flight Lieutenant Garwell, now a prisoner of Hitler's Third Reich, had been torn apart from his new love. Escape, recapture, solitary confinement and a desperate march to freedom through the snow and ice of a bitter winter lay ahead before Arthur and Joan were reunited. But, as they set out on their new life together in a Britain ravaged by austerity, another, very different, battle awaited. Letters from Stalag Luft 3 is a true story of bravery and survival, love and loss - both his and hers - told by their son.
