A collection of WWII sketches and memories, "Route Step", by Roy Veary. The author served with the 70th Infantry Division in WWII. Captured by the Germans early in the "Battle of the Bulge", the book is mainly about his POW experiences. He repeatedly tried to escape, and managed to break out of Stalag XIII at Hammelburg on three occasions. His time of freedom varied from hours to several days, but was recaptured in each instance. He recounts first hand, the attempt by General Pattons Third Army to free Pattons son-in-law from the camp and how that raid raised then dashed the POWS hope of freedom. The author, along with his American, British, Australian and Russian fellow prisoners were eventually freed by the 3rd Infantry Division.

Neither Wilde nor America would ever be the same.
