Synopsis

The letter fell from Bahnemann's hands. 'I'm Leaving', he said. 'I'm deserting - tonight'.

Hearing that his father had been arrested and killed in Germany, Corporal Gunther Bahnemann, Iron Cross, despatch rider in Rommel's Afrika Korps, described that, for him, the war was over. Hours later equipped with only the barest essentials for survival, he rode out of camp into the hostile desert.

So began one of the most bizarre true escape stories of the war.
