Trained to be a gunner in a Lancaster bomber during WWII, he is shot down over France.

He and other flyers from various Allied countries are rounded up by the Gestapo and held in Fresnes prison just outside of Paris.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTreated as spies, rather than POWs, these men are beaten, some tortured - then sent to Buchenwald Concentration Camp in eastern Germany.
