Synopsis
One man’s incredible WWII journey, told in his own words: the bomber flights, his capture and imprisonment, writing the secret underground newspaper for the prison camp of over 9,000 men, and finally, freedom, for himself and the world. Ray Parker joined the war effort at the age of 18 and became a navigator on a B-24 Liberator Bomber in the 703rd squadron, another member of which was actor Jimmy Stewart. Shot down by enemy fighters on his 10th mission, he survived the parachute fall only to be captured by the Germans. Interned at Stalag Luft 1 in Barth, Germany, Ray Parker was asked by the American Commanding Officer to secretly edit the underground newspaper for the camp of over 9,000 men. An inspirational and moving tale.
