In “The Tunnellers of Holzminden (with a side-issue)," H. G. Durnford transports readers to a unique and lesser-known aspect of World War I history. Durnford's narrative skillfully recounts the daring escape of Allied prisoners of war from Holzminden, a German prison camp. The “side-issue” adds depth to the story by exploring the experiences and challenges faced by prisoners of war during their captivity. Durnford's account sheds light on the courage, resourcefulness, and resilience of these prisoners as they navigate the harsh realities of war and confinement. This book serves as a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the lengths people will go to regain their freedom.
