Pte. Leonard Green DCM
British Army
Leonard Green escaped from Stalag XXA and made it back to England via Sweden with Angus Paton. Their story is the subject of the book Escape Route Green.
In June of this year, my wife (Leonard's daughter)and I went to Torun to re-trace the route he took and to visit the 3 prison camps he was kept in, in Torun, Lobsenica and Graudiatz. I can only describe our experience as one of the most incredible weeks of our lives and would recommend Poland to anyone who would be interested in seeing were family members may have been held. The interest and assistance we received was remarkable.
