The Shetland Bus: A WWII Epic of Escape, Survival, and Adventure by David Howarth


BOOK REVIEW
The Shetland Bus: A WWII Epic of Escape, Survival, and Adventure by David Howarth
FIVE STARS

The saltiest sailors in the world.

A factual compilation of WWII Norse resistance: One of thirteen overrun nations, little Norway was the first to counterattack the Nazi invaders and they used German made Krupp cannons sending 1,600 sailors and three battle ships to the bottom of Oslo Fjord. 

Wartime resistance came from Norse fishermen using their own vessels along Norway’s North Atlantic coast nonstop through gales and hurricanes. Excellent!!!
