A thrilling, moment by moment account of an epic World War II escape and the real-life adventures that followed.

On August 30, 1942 - 'Zero Night' - 40 Allied officers staged the most audacious mass escape of World War II. Months of meticulous planning and secret training hung in the balance during three minutes of mayhem as the officers boldly stormed the huge double fences at Oflag Prison. Employing wooden ladders and bridges previously disguised as bookshelves, the highly coordinated effort succeeded and set 36 men free into the German countryside. Later known as the 'Warburg Wire Job', fellow prisoner and fighter ace Douglas Bader once described the attempt as 'the most brilliant escape conception of this war'.

The first author to tackle this remarkable story in detail, historian Mark Felton brilliantly evokes the suspense of the escape and the adventures of those escapees who managed to elude the Germans, as well as the courage of the civilians who risked their lives to help them in enemy territory. Fantastically intimate and told with a novelist's eye for drama and detail, this rip-roaring adventure is all the more thrilling because it really happened.

Dog toy that lasts.
Size: 5 Pack
I've got a heavy chewer on my hands, so I've basically thrown money away on countless "durable" toys that get shredded in minutes. I was skeptical about these, but the "no stuffing" design caught my eye—at least there wouldn't be fluff all over my living room! I'm happy to report that these have actually lasted! My dog loves shaking them around and making them squeak. The crinkle sound is a huge bonus; it really keeps him engaged. The fact that they're lightweight makes them perfect for a game of fetch, and my dog can easily carry them around. For the price, getting a whole bundle of these is a great deal. If you're tired of cleaning up toy stuffing, I'd definitely recommend giving these a try.

Not for aggressive dogs but no stuffing is super!
Size: 5 Pack
I've bought these several times but have the attitude that toys are disposable. One of my hounds will drop right through then to pull out the squeaker before losing interest. My other hound wants to love them. Glad there is no stuffing to get all over the house but they will tear quickly.

worth the price !
Size: 5 Pack, Size: 5 Pack
Best toys for our livestock puppies since they have been getting into our outdoor things which isn’t their faults but i figure I would get these small squeaky animals toys and they are obsessed and love playing tug a war with them! They’re super soft, the quality is amazing cause these puppies are tough chew monsters, love the squeaky sound it makes and the patting are suitable as well! Definitely recommend this especially for the price and how fast shipping was !

Solid dog toys HOWEVER...
Size: 5 Pack
Got these toys for our collie-retriever. He loves them and plays with them a lot and will even get them out in the middle of the night to play with them. Since there's no stuffing you can't throw them very far but they are good for tug-of-war and really soft. The one downside, while they techically are durable and hold up to rigorous chewing, they are not impervious as our little man finally disembowled Mr. Lion after a few months of playing with him. (Serated the lining with his teeth.) Still highly recommend.

Not very durable
Size: 5 Pack
They’re a great toy for the dog. However, if the dog is bigger, they are very easily destroyed.
