Hello,
I had something I wanted to add to this discussion although I'm a bit =
late. Many people tend to forget that when Germany attacked Poland on =
Sept. 1, 1939, the Soviet Union invaded from the east on Sept. 17th. =
Thousands of Poles were sent to labor camps in Siberia. One of those =
individuals was Slavomir Rawicz who escaped with six of his companions. =
They went south and eventually four of them reached India after about a =
year. His ordeal can be read in a book called The Long Walk. It was a =
collaborative effort with a British writer, Ronald Downing.
Rawicz was living in England at the time and Downing contacted him =
because Rawicz and his companions reported seeing the Abomidable Snowman =
as they were crossing the Himalayas. When Downing realized that Rawicz =
had escaped from a Soviet labor camp, he realized he had a much bigger =
story to record. The entire ordeal is an incredible but true story of =
survival.
