The stories are narrated by the airmen, and recount missions over enemy territory, encounters with enemy fighters, crash landings, and bail out from burning planes.
The 25 airmen in this book were all shot down over Germany or German occupied territory. They were captured and became POWs in Stalag Luft I in Barth, Germany. They stayed in the same barracks, and in the same room, until the Russians liberated them on 1st May 1945.
One of them, Lyle Shafer, made a list of all the roommates, just after the liberation of the camp. He looked for his fellow roommates for over 17 years and made it possible for them to reunite in 1989. This is the story about The Captured Ones.
